Abstract
A mid-air release module uses one or more bias members to move a ram connected to one or more cables to release at least one releasable coupling connecting cargo to an air cargo platform. The ram is held in a cocked position by a release lever held in a first position by a trigger until the occurrence of a triggering event. When released, the release lever moves to a second position, allowing the ram to move and exert a simultaneous pulling force on the cables to open releasable couplings connecting the cargo to the platform at the same time. A release module using force generated by bias members such as springs does not need a power source and will function reliably in adverse conditions.
