MAIN CANOPIES

Model Description Picture Price
Performance Designs

Sabre2

From the moment you release the pilot chute, the Sabre2’s consistent, soft, on-heading openings will please you. Pilots of the original Sabre will immediately notice the Sabre2’s more crisp and positive response to toggle input, along with its lighter toggle and riser pressure. When it comes to landings, everyone will be amazed with the incredible amount of lift available on landing. This lift gives the Sabre2 pilot a tremendous ability to slow down when you wish to.

The Sabre2 will feel aggressive at higher wing loadings while maintaining its incredible ease of landing and forgiveness at lower wing loadings. The Sabre2’s performance envelope is huge.

Spectre

Forget anything you have ever heard or experienced. The Spectre is unlike any other canopy you have you have ever seen! In its first months after release, our tapered, zero porosity seven cell has already become one of the most popular canopies we have ever produced.

Silhouette

The Silhouette is easy to pack due to the combination of fabrics. It has consistent openings and excellent glide ratio. The Silhouette displays more responsive handling characteristics than traditional 9-cell canopies at equivalent wing loadings. It has a fast turn rate, while maintaining predictable turn recovery. This responsiveness and agility enables the skydiver to experience crisp handling and performance without the need to fly at high wing loadings, that would otherwise limit their total performance envelope.

Stiletto

Whether it's the soft openings, responsiveness, extremely fast rate of turn, flat glide, or incredible landing capabilities, the Stiletto is the canopy of choice for those pilots who have taken the time (and jumps) to hone their piloting skill.

Katana

The Katana is a high-performance canopy designed for experienced canopy pilots. It is a highly tapered or “elliptical” nine-cell canopy made from zero-porosity fabric. Sweet openings, wide control range, steep dive, light front riser pressure and powerful flare make the Katana very suitable for modern canopy flying styles. The Katana may look similar to a Stiletto at first glance, but beneath the surface they are two completely different machines!

Performance Designs

Velocity

The Velocity has a wider speed range than any other canopy we have ever seen. You will be amazed at how easy it is to achieve incredibly steep, high speed front riser turns. If long, high speed swoop landings are your thing, the Velocity will really impress you with its ability to turf surf incredible distances, while still allowing you to slow down more than any other canopy of a given size. The Velocity's landings are so incredible , you will find yourself making jumps just so that you can land it again. The Velocity will allow highly experienced pilots to explore a range of ram air flight never before possible. With its rigid cross braced structure, incredibly clean aerodynamics and almost totally enclosed leading edge, the Velocity is the most advanced ram air wing we have ever offered.

Vengeance

For those who want the next level of flight and landing performance, coupled with the benefits of the patented airlock™ system, the Vengeance is the canopy you have been waiting for.

Soft openings, unsurpassed responsiveness, incredible speed range, and air locked rigidity, the Vengeance has it all. It has been designed with light front riser pressure, and a longer pullout arc to allow the pilot to build up higher speeds, if desired, for swoop landings. The Vengeance will amaze even the most accomplished "swoopers". Regardless of the approach technique used, this canopy generates more lift at low speed (touchdown) than any non-cross braced canopy ever built.

Parachutes de France Springo SPRINGO has been designed in the spirit of gliding sports i.e. Surf, Windsurf, and Snowsurf. SPRINGO is more than a canopy. It is a whole concept that has its own philosophy: freedom to act, speed, vivacity, and remarkable landing control. £ call or email for a quote...
Parachutes de France Ninja The NINJA canopy has been designed using cross-ribbed technology developed by Flying Plant in Para-gliding. The NINJA, however, has an extremely rigid cell system increasing the air-lift and reducing air-drag. This produces an extremely tuned flying instrument. £ call or email for a quote...
Icarus

Omni

The Icarus Omni is a 7-Cell, Semi and lightly elliptical, Zero Porosity canopy. It has been designed as an all purpose canopy with soft on-heading openings, predictable flight characteristics, light toggle and riser pressure and with the added advantage of an increased glide ratio and greater flare power when compared with other 7 cell designs £ call or email for a quote...
Icarus

Omega

The Icarus Omega is a 7-Cell, Lightly elliptical, Zero Porosity, RW canopy. It has been designed as an all round no hassle, RW, Demo Jumping, Fun Accuracy, Fun CRW canopy. It is super easy to use with delicious "7-cell" openings, easy packing and gentle landings. £ call or email for a quote...
Icarus

Saphire2

The Safire 2, like the original Safire is a truly elliptical canopy with a light shaping incorporating a constant cell aspect ratio which consistently controls the airfoil shape across the canopy, maintaining increased rigidity and reducing drag.

The Safire 2 is designed to fly best at wing loadings of .75 to 1.6. At the lower end, the Safire flies forgivingly and is an ideal transitional canopy. At the higher loadings, it is a fast-moving smooth-handling ride that outperforms other canopies in its class.

Icarus

Crossfire2

The Crossfire 2 is a highly elliptical, constant cell aspect ratio, closed nose, fully and surface shaped inflatable wing capable of unrivalled performance. It will out perform any non cross-braced 9 cell available; Openings, toggle turns, riser turns, dives, swoop distance and flare -period! £ call or email for a quote...
Icarus

EXTremeFX

The EXTreme-FX is not for everybody. It's built specifically for radical manoeuvrability and is ideal for turf surfing. It is for experienced elliptical pilots only. £ call or email for a quote...
Icarus

EXTremeVX

The EXTreme-VX is a 27-cell Elliptical X-braced Tri-cell that brings HP canopy performance to the next step. As with all the Icarus range it is available in any size. The VX is not going to replace the FX, but for those turf surf purists who's prime objective is to glean the last available performance from their canopy, rather than the focus being cost or pack volume - This can be your ultimate weapon of choice. £ call or email for a quote...
Aerodyne Triathlon The Triathlon is a seven-cell, zero-porosity ram-air parachute; designed for skydivers who want one parachute that does it all. Selecting a new main parachute can be a confusing task, with many variables to consider during the decision process. Until now, choosing a main parachute has always involved making some sort of compromise. The fact is...all other parachutes are quite specialized and limited in their abilities.

Aerodyne Pilot If you are looking for a canopy that you can truly enjoy, without the need to “work at it”, then the Pilot is the canopy you have been waiting for. “Try one on for size”, trust your feelings and you will not be disappointed. The Aerodyne Pilot: for people who love to fly.

Aerodyne Vision Those who want a bit more faster turns, higher speeds and longer swoops in a canopy that feels as though it can almost anticipate what you want it to do. We refer to this as "a natural feeling of high performance flight". What does this mean? Our best recommendation is to say: "Go out and try one for yourself".

Parachutes de France Techno The Techno concept is more than an innovative range of square reserve canopies! It is an intelligent combination of proven concepts and revolutionary improvements to achieve the best ratio ever between maximum suspended weight and volume. £ call or email for a quote...
Aerodyne Smart Our new reserve is tested far beyond the minimum requirements of the latest US TSO (c23d) as well as the European standards (JTSO). We manufacture the Smart under the strictest international quality management program (ISO 9001). Few, if any, other manufacturers currently hold this difficult certification. The Smart is constructed chord-wise with additional span-wise reinforcement. After studying various failure modes of existing reserve designs, Aerodyne is the first manufacturer to incorporate radial reinforcement into the tail of the Smart reserve as well. All of this adds up to what we believe is the world’s strongest reserve.
