I heard a discussion on this commonly-found-on-your-better-aircraft feature, perhaps on Science Friday Talk-of-the-Nation - When they first tried to do one of these, they used a rocket (seems sensible, huh?) but it was too slow to do the job. Current versions use a bomb - quite literally. Think I'll stay with sailplanes.
