Systems, Inc. (OTC:BRSI) (BULLETIN BOARD: BRSI) (
http://brsparachutes.com/ ), a whole-airplane parachute company,
whose on-board emergency parachute systems have been credited with
saving 179 lives, today introduced a new innovative product line,
The BRS - 6. This extraordinary system enhancement designed for
Light-Sport Aircraft represents the culmination of nearly a decade
of ongoing research and development by BRS preceding today's
announced global product launch. Not since 1995 has BRS, one of the
leading aviation safety companies in the world, rolled out a new
parachute system that promises to revolutionize the industry. Some
of the BRS - 6 system features include low altitude capabilities
and simple activation by pilot or passenger. All BRS - 6 recovery
systems are compliant with the new ASTM parachute standard. The BRS
- 6 parachute system features expanding speed ranges and stainless
steel parts. In addition, the total weight of the VLS and canister
models has been reduced. The BRS - 6 meets the ASTM standard for
LSA Aircraft including the fully assembled special LSA. BRS CEO
& President/COO Larry E. Williams made the announcement on the
opening day of the EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh, Wis. "BRS has
always been recognized as a leader in aviation safety. The launch
of the BRS - 6 is just the latest example why we take tremendous
pride in our role of making it safer for all of us to fly." The BRS
- 6 is making its debut at AirVenture 2005, and is ready for sale
and available through authorized North American dealers. Later this
fall, the BRS - 6 is expected to receive product certification in
Europe. BRS is a South St. Paul, Minn., based company that designs,
manufactures and distributes whole-plane emergency parachute
systems for use on general aviation and recreational aircraft.
Since the early 1980's, BRS has delivered nearly 20,000 parachute
