Skipper – modern 7-cell versatile main Canopy

Information

Skipper offers:

  • soft and consistent openings
  • easy and safe controls
  • moderate descend and sufficient horizontal speed
  • high stability in turbulent air
  • good flare
  • low packing volume

Remarkable performance data were achieved due to use of the unique in its class technological solutions:

  • high, as for 7-cell, aspect ratio
  • planform similar to that of 9-cell canopies
  • special design of air intakes, that reduces deformation of the skin

With wing loadings of 1.3 or below Skipper can be recommended to the beginners. At higher loadings it becomes notably more responsive on the toggles, but stays docile enough for a skydiver of average skills. Skipper gives consistently stable and comfortable openings, sought by cameramen and wingsuit pilots.

Specs

Recommended wing loading range of Skipper is 1.1 – 1.7 lb/sq.ft. Wing loading for the best flight performance is in the range of 1.3 – 1.5 lb/sq.ft.
