  Parachutes for planes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
But while Cirrus claims to build the world's safest single-engine airplanes, it has been shadowed by an accident rate that early this year was about 33% higher than the aviation industry average.
A small rocket is ignited, which pulls the parachute canopy from a canister, and the parachute fully extends in several seconds.
Cirrus says its planes have a wing design that makes them resistant to airborne spins, a cockpit roll cage to better absorb the impact of a crash, and a plethora of electronics, including a moving map that shows other airplanes in the sky and details of the terrain below.

The goal of the Cirrus project is to launch a series of rockets to moderate altitudes, or more exactly, beyond the confines of the troposphere and into the lower reaches of the stratosphere (beyond 10 km).
Cirrus is named for the type of feathery, high altitude clouds comprised of fine ice particles.
The rocket will be equipped with a transmitter to aid recovery, complete with a microphone to allow ground observers to be able to listen to and record the sounds within the rocket during the entire flight.

 Cirrus (rocket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cirrus is a sounding rocket with two stages, developed by the " Hermann Oberth Society ".
The maximum height of the Cirrus is depending on the version 35 kilometres or 50 kilometres.
A Cirrus rocket is exhibited at the Hermann-Oberth-Museum in Feucht, Germany.

The rocket was undamaged, and Ed flew it again later using an Ellis Mountain J279.
The parachute hung in a tree, but the rest of the rocket made it to the ground where it was recovered along with the parachute (after a few tugs).
While most of the fliers were in the fields recovering their rockets, Mark Carlson put up the last flight of the day on a G33.

The second rocket of the Cirrus Project has been in the planning stage for some months now, however, I've wanted to finalize some of the basic details before putting them 'down on paper'.
It is felt that the rocket that will eventually be flown to the project goal of 10 km will need to have two stages, in order to achieve this goal with a moderate performance propellant (e.g.
The rocket paint scheme includes "roll markings" and fins with alternating colours, intended to allow the vehicle roll rate to be ascertained (from video footage).

 Cuxhaven
It was the prototype of rockets that were supposedly capable of cruising out 400 km from their launch point at an altitude of 1000 m and a speed of 1000 m/s.
The rocket had 50 kg of propellant, produced 5 tonnes thrust, and was to have reached Mach 1.5 at burnout and an altitude of 20,000 m.
Cirrus II, 4.155 m long, with a thrust of 1.8 tonnes, reached 1000 m/s and an altitude of 50 km.

 EMRR's Review: Public Missiles (PML) - Cirrus
Since this rocket can conceivably go very fast and high, one item not normally provided with PML kits but provided with this one is fiberglass cloth for stronger fin attachment.
Since this is a rocket that will not normally be flown with a 38mm motor unless someone regularly launches at large recovery areas, I feel that PML should also include an adapter with the kit.
Since this is the only rocket made by PML (that I know of) that has a solid nose cone on a payload section, I also urge PML to include a method for nose cone retention, as normal nose cone retention methods are not applicable either.

My first amateur rocket was rather simple, consisting of a thin walled steel tube of 1.17 inch (3.0 cm) diameter and 15 inch (38 cm) length, serving as the fuselage, fitted with a hardwood nosecone and three fins made from sheet aluminum.
The Cirrus One rocket, the first of the Cirrus Project and the first of my "second generation" rockets, had a fuselage made from PVC sewer pipe, with an outside diameter of 3.25 inches (83 mm) and a wall thickness of 0.11 inches (2.8 mm).
The Cirrus One had a fwo part fuselage, with the lower section serving to house the motor, and the upper fuselage held the payload and parachute (the purpose for having the fuselage in two sections was for the purpose of shipping).

Cirrus manufactures the SR22 model and also produces the SR20 model and reports more than 500 of their aircraft are flying.
Cirrus is currently the only certified aircraft manufacturer that has chosen to make the parachute standard equipment in all their airplanes, according to BRS.
The densely packed 55-foot diameter parachute is extracted from the SR22 fuselage by a 1,000 Newton/second solid-fuel rocket motor after the pilot pulls a handle mounted overhead between the pilot and a right seat passenger.

 Spaceflight Now | Breaking News | Clouds from aircraft exhaust may warm U.S. climate
NASA scientists have found that cirrus clouds, formed by contrails from aircraft engine exhaust, are capable of increasing average surface temperatures enough to account for a warming trend in the United States that occurred between 1975 and 1994.
Both air traffic and cirrus coverage increased during the period of warming despite no changes in the NCEP humidity at jet cruise altitudes over the United States.
The trends in cirrus cover and warming over the United States were greatest during winter and spring, the same seasons when contrails are most frequent.

The TV-1 was designed as a single-use rocket solely intended to test various systems and techniques that are planned to be implemented on the two-stage Cirrus Two rocket to be launched at a future date.
The first rocket was then launched, and flew beautifully, however, to our dismay, the recovery system did not fire, and the rocket impacted a few hundred feet upwind of the launch pad.
Despite this, the preparations went well, and the rocket booster was connected to the upper stage and finally placed over the launch rod and into position onto the pad.

The rocket exits the fuselage with a velocity of 150 mph in the first tenth of a second and reaches full extension in less than one second.
The BRS installations in these aircraft position the rocket in the baggage compartment at the rear of the cabin area and the parachute is ejected through the right half of the rear window.
If the aircraft has such a rocket and it has not been operated, approach with care, do not intrude into the area marked on the fuselage, do not move the parachute release if removing persons from the cockpit, and safe-secure the rocket as per instructions from the manufacturer as soon as possible.

 Natural Heat Vent Could Help Let Off Earth's Steam
The tropical Pacific Ocean may be able to open a "vent" in its heat-trapping cirrus cloud cover and release enough energy into space to significantly diminish the projected climate warming caused by a buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
The "adaptive infrared iris" of cirrus clouds opens and closes to permit the release of infrared energy, thus resisting warmer tropical sea surface temperatures, which occur naturally and are predicted to increase as the result of climate warming.
Cirrus clouds - high-altitude clouds of ice crystals - typically form as a byproduct of the life cycle of cumulus towers created by rising updrafts of heated, moist air.

For transit, the rocket was disassembled and packed in a specially built lightweight wooden box, together with the equipment needed for re-assembly and support of the launch.
Immediately after, Cirrus One roared off the launch pad, accompanied with a very loud sound from the powerful motor, and veered slightly after leaving the launch rail (doubtless due to the short 8 foot length and flexibility of the 1/2 inch rod).
On Saturday, March 15, 2003, nearly two years after Cirrus One soared skyward over the New Mexico dessert, and subsequently was lost (seemingly forever), rocketeer Denzil Burnam made an unexpected discovery of the wreckage of a rocket...later identified as the remains of the Cirrus One rocket.

 NCAR Observing System Finds High-Level Moisture With Global Implications
On average, cirrus clouds tend to warm the planet, as they allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere while trapping radiation emitted from the ground.
The undetected moisture and clouds between about 5 and 9 miles high (8-14 kilometers) probably have little effect on daily weather forecasts, but their omission may be corrupting our view of long-term climate.
Anthes notes that radiosonde data are often used in computer models to predict the weather, and that the resulting weather analyses are then used for analyzing climate, including the calibration of models that simulate previous and future climates.
