Drag chute from any of the 25 series LearJets. Is a PITA repacking after a panic stop, but works.
The Coast Guard Guys borrow two JATO bottles from their supply, and mount them facing forward in the lower headlight bay. Set the ignitor to the High Beam wiring from the switch on the turn signal stock. BE REALLY CAREFUL that you do not flash to pass somebody at night. Also, remember to not count on them again once fired, they are a one shot deal. If you have to fire them when moving at less than 25MPH, use the reverse speed that results to stomp on the regular brake pedal, and adjust the rear shoes.
YMMV.
