In 1998 the original Icarus Safire was released. It was the first all purpose 9 cell canopy to include a lightly & truly elliptical planform shape offering superior openings and flight characteristics compared to competing mid-performance 9 cell designs at the time.
The Safire 2 is an enhanced version integrating new trim and plan form shaping techniques offering an increased glide ratio, more responsive flight controls both on toggles and risers, a more powerful flare and a shorter recovery arc making the canopy even more predictable.
Recommended for wing loadings from .75 PSF to 1.6 PSF. Standard sizes: 99, 109, 119, 129, 139, 149, 169, 189, 209 and 229.
