An emergency exit system for use on a helicopter or other aircraft includes a frame (4) defining an opening (6) for receiving a panel (8) to close the opening (6); a plurality of latches (10, 117) for releasably securing the panel (8) in the opening (6); a plurality of release mechanisms (12); a cable (45, 118) extending around at least a major portion of the frame (4) for releasing the panel (8); and a plurality of actuators (14) strategically located around the opening and connected to the cable (45, 118), whereby actuation of any one of the actuators (14) causes simultaneous release of all of the latches (10, 117) so that the panel (8) can be jettisoned. |
