| RC |
The RC is a 7-cell reserve canopy made of low porosity fabric and Spectra lines for reduced pack volume, its designed and constructed as a low aspect ratio parachute with a rectangular planform for stability during opening, flight and landing, exhibiting predictable behavior throughout its entire flight. Sizes are available from 120 to 280 sq. ft. and is only available in white color.
The RC exceeds the requirements of the Aerospace Standard AS8015B, the FAA TSO-C23d and the EASA ETSO-C23d. Its rugged construction uses additional reinforcement chord wise, span wise, throughout the nose, and at all line attachment points.
The RC canopy features a low pack volume as compared to other reserve parachutes, thanks to the use of 0-3 CFM low permeability, high quality rip stop fabric (SASPA T-34, PIA C-44378C Type IV), together with its unique reinforced construction.
The suspension lines are 725lb Spectra, with the lower steering lines made of 1000lb Spectra. Line attachment points are secured with double bar tacks for higher strength. RC Spectra lines are coated to assure better protection during packing, opening and after landing, better resisting damage from bushes, sand, Velcro hook, etc…
The RC is manufactured under the highest Quality Control standards. All materials are thoroughly inspected and tested according to military standards.
