An emergency remover device for ejecting an aircraft canopy preliminary to in-flight ejection of personnel from the aircraft, which device is a ballistic gas actuated telescoping multi-cylinder assembly that is normally keyed in retracted relation and comprises an inner cylinder, an intermediate cylinder, and an outer cylinder, with the assembly arranged for upright incorporation in the usual aircraft canopy actuating extensible and retractable strut, in which assembly the outer cylinder is fixed against movement relative to the aircraft on emergency actuation of the device, and the inner and intermediate cylinders act under ballistic gas pressure released within the device to effect the imposition on the canopy of the needed unbalanced force in a more or less uniform manner to effect the application to the canopy of maximized release momentum prior to the remover device to effect the application to the canopy of maximized release momentum prior to the remover device reaching its extending length, and to provide for release of the canopy therefrom without detracting from such momentum.
