Blade: Custom in 8 weeks. The Blade is a high speed canopy exclusively for very skilled pilots with considerable experience under high-speed elliptical parachutes. Optimum performance of this wing is in the range of 1.6 to 2.2 pounds per square foot.
A minimum experience level of 500 jumps is suggested because of these higher wing loadings. By greatly reducing drag, the Blade flies at substantially higher forward speed than other canopies of a similar size. During full glide the Blade reacts to toggle input very quickly, which makes it amazingly responsive. Front riser pressure is moderate, and the Blade can easily be held in a long dive.
The Blade is available in sizes of 58, 68, 78, 88, 98, 108 and 120 sq.ft. Prior to purchasing the 58 or 68 size, proof of experience and strict recommendations are absolutely required. The Blade comes equipped with soft connector links, nickel-plated slider grommets, and black Technora line. Please indicate stock number or upload custom order form below.
