Zulu-X Main Parachute Canopy

Aerodyne is thrilled to introduce the Zulu-X.

The Zulu-X is Aerodyne’s most advanced 9-Cell offering yet. Building on the strong heritage of the Zulu, this canopy
promises extra depth in terms of enhanced flight characteristics, thanks to a new airfoil and line trim.

FLY LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

• Aerodyne can’t tell you about the tech.
• They can tell you it’s the only 9-Cell packed with better opening staging and an intuitive, longer dive.
• They can tell you that you’ll encounter increased integration of harness response, defined agility in turns and more feel in riser input – all backed up with a lengthened recovery arc.
• They can tell you it’s the Zulu-X.
• The rest is up to you.

According to Aerodyne Product Development and Marketing Manager, Scott Lazarus: “The Zulu-X has been developed to accentuate the qualities of the Zulu that skydivers have come to enjoy, giving them a chance to fall in love all over again with an amazingly fun wing. We’ve packed it with great qualities like better opening staging, more intuitive and lengthened dive, better integration of harness response, more feel in riser, and an even greater response on toggle, also during flare.”

Early feedback from Zulu-X pilots has been positive:

“Aerodyne says the ZuluX offers defined agility in turns, and there’s no better way to explain it. I also love the landing. With only a bit of wind, the longer dive allows the pilot to flare and stop without having to run. With the Low Pack Volume (LPV) option, the pack job is not hard work - even when the canopy is brand new.” Patrick Passe (World renowned camera flyer and FS Big Way organiser, World Record holder)

“I really liked my Zulu, but I like my Zulu-X even more – soft on-heading openings every time, great response on the toggle input and a super flare. The Zulu-X is very versatile and I can land it in deep brakes or fly aggressively. The Zulu-X has what I am looking for in a main!” Sven Mörtberg (Swedish FS organiser and Word Record holder)

"This canopy is really giving me what I expect as a daily pro skydiver jumping big ways, 8 ways or AFF: soft openings, good fun as I fly it, nice flares as I swoop and good safety when I land outside!” Martial Ferré (French World Champion FS 8-way, Big Way sequential organiser.)

“After a slow start this year I could finally do the first 200 jumps on my new Zulu-X. Love the openings and the best: no panic attacks any more in zero wind conditions ” Dieter Kirsch (German FS Big way organiser, organiser largest formation from 1 nationality (German), long time German national champion FS 4-way and World Record Holder)

“Love the Zulu-X, great for all my jumping from 4-way to AFF to bigway! Flies so well with other canopies!” Sian Stokes (World Champion indoor FS 4-way, Silver medallist World Championships FS 4-way, World Record holder and FS Big Way organiser.)

 “One of the best opening canopies I've ever jumped. Easy to fly powerful flare. All the best bits of the Pilot with more....much more!” Milko (FS Big Way organiser, World Record holder, multiple UK national champion FS 4-way and
stunt double for Tom Cruise.)

The Zulu-X comes with the 700 ZLX lines and standard ZP fabric. ZPX or Ultra-LPV fabric is available for $250 extra, and a removable slider is an option available at $250. Other available line types include 700 HMA and 725 Spectra.
