Comp Velocity Main Parachute Canopy

Performance Designs Comp Velocity Main Canopy.

Note: Please read the ordering instructions in the description below for links to the PD Stock List and Design Program.

Since the release of the PD Velocity in 1999, Performance Designs learned a lot about cross-braced canopies. While on the surface the Competition Velocity may look like a regular Velocity, it a completely different machine. With improved aerodynamics, better openings, more powerful rear risers, and better slow flight characteristics on the toggles, the Competition Velocity is like a Velocity on steroids. If you are looking for a step up in opening, flight, and landing performance from your current cross-braced canopy, the Competition Velocity is for you.

Technical Information:

• Sizes 71, 75, 79, 84, 90, 96, 103, 111
• 7-cell crossbraced canopy
• All Zero Porosity (ZP) fabric
• Orange Vectran, HMA, or Vectran lines
• Collapsible channel slider or optional RDS and Collapsible RDS sliders

Characteristics:

• Great openings
• Long recovery arc
• Very steep glide
• Great shut down power
• Responsive and powerful canopy

Great for:

• Highly experienced canopy pilots
• First-time crossbraced canopy pilots
• Getting back from long spots
• Camera flyers
• Individuals learning high performance canopy piloting under appropriate supervision
• Individuals looking for a high performance canopy for competition
• Individuals looking for a step up from a non-crossbraced canopy, such as the Stiletto, Sabre2, or Katana

Velocity pilots looking for:

• Less vibration on opening
• Better rear riser performance
• Better slow flight performance on toggles

The Comp Velocity from Performance Designs. Complete with collapsible slider and 300 or 500 Orange Vectran, or 500 HMA, suspension lines with 750 for the lower steering lines. Optional configuration available with RDS slider.

The new Orange Vectran from PD yields a longer line life than HMA line previously used on the Comp Velocity, is smaller in size/diameter than comparable sized HMA and Is more resistant to abrasion and maintains its strength better than comparable sized HMA.

Highlights include Low Drag Line attachment points, Low-Profile PCA, 300/500 Orange Vectran or 500 HMA, RDS or Collapsible Slider and performance improvements in the design. This is not a replacement of the Velocity, but a higher-performance canopy with extra standard features for competition canopy pilots. With the standard setup of 500 HMA line and Collapsible Slider, the Comp Velocity has shown to be a step up for everyday Velocity pilots looking for a bit more performance. The openings are easier and have less “side to side” vibration during the snivel, the rear risers are more responsive, and the toggles produce better slow flight characteristics which leads to longer swoops and softer touchdowns.
