rip panel [′rip ‚pan·əl]

(aerospace engineering)

A part of a crewed free balloon; it is the panel to which the ripcord is attached and extends about one-fourth to one-fifth of the circumference of the balloon along one of its meridians; it is torn open when the ripcord is pulled so that all the gas in the balloon escapes.
