- Very compact and lightweight
- This chute was designed as a balance between drag and stability
- Low packing volume and simplistic design
- The disk gap band chute is also known as the Mars Chute, as it was designed to be used on planet Mars and tested through supersonic conditions
- The gap between the gores and skirt, allows an even flow of air which attaches with tape going up the parachute, this avoids asymmetric flow separation, preventing oscillation
- Alternating colors on the gores
- 200lb Spectra for lines coated with Polyurethane which resists abrasion and is the strongest man made Fiber
- Lines are only 1/32” thick to decrease Packing Volume
- These Disk Gap Band Parachutes use lightweight 1.1 oz Mil-spec calendered ripstop nylon
- Features a vent hole on the apex to increase pressure and inflation
- Made in the USA
