"Star" Polyconical
These "Star" polyconical parachutes feature a Cd of .96 using surface area (Cd ~1.2 using the constructed diameter as a reference area). The polyconical design provides softer opening and less oscillation (swinging) than any chute of similar design. If you are needing specific colors, please write what colors you need in the note section (please specify which color for the star and which color is surrounding the star). If there is no color preference, bright color patterns will be used.
*If you wanted banded stars or wanted a different number of star points, let us know.
Features:
- Thin mill (1.1 oz ripstop nylon) material used
- Expertly engineered to be the lightest and strongest chutes on the market
- Kevlar riser
- Premium Spectra suspension lines
- Professional quality
- Apex loop to attach deployment bag, drogue or streamers can be added at no extra charge (just let us know if you need this in the order notes)
- The apex vent is slightly undersized (under 1% total surface area), this increases the pressure and provides a slightly larger drag cross-sectional area
