Combat Free Fall Parachute
(Ram Air 9 Cell Para)
Ram Air parachute is a highly steerable & gliding free fall parachute for clandestine and deep penetration into enemy territory. The parachute in a 9-cell configuration has been developed for use by Army, Air Force and adventure wings. The parachute is fully maneuverable & provides pinpoint landing. The canopy is in rectangular-shape with aerofoil design. The parachute consists of two layers of almost nil porosity fabric with intervening aerofoil shaped ribs making cells. During development air rams through the opening of cells and canopy is deployed in the shape of wing surface to provide lift.
