Extraction Force Transfer Coupling. The extraction force transfer coupling consists of an actuator
assembly (1), connector, latch assembly (2), latch assembly (3), link assembly coupling, EFTC (4), a link
assembly adapter (5), and a cable assembly (6). The coupling transfers the pull force of a cargo extraction
parachute from the extracted airdrop load to the cargo parachute deployment line. Immediately after the
load departs the aircraft, the arm of the actuator assembly (1) is released and pulls upon the cable
assembly (6). The pull on this cable, in turn, causes the latch assembly (3) to release the link assembly (4),
transferring the pull force. The cable assembly (6) is constructed in 12-, 16-, 20-, 24-, and 28-foot (3.7-,
4.9-, 6.1-, 7.3-, 8.5-m) lengths. The link assembly adapter (5) connects an extraction line to the link
assembly (4). It is equipped with a larger spacer (7) and a small spacer (8) that distribute the extraction
force applied to the link assembly by providing a two or three loop separation when a five and six-loop
extraction line is used. The connector, latch assembly (2) connects the latch assembly (3) to the extraction
bracket mounted on the platform.
