Harrier Drone Parachutes
The Harrier Drone Parachute Launcher raises the bar for low cost, lightweight, easy to use, efficient, and cost effective spring actuated parachute launchers. No other drone parachute launcher compares to the Harrier!
Skycat Drone Parachutes
These bundles combine our Iris Ultra Light parachutes with a Harrier or Skycat spring-based parachute launcher for drones up to 12.8kg. The systems are lightweight, strong and will exhibit high performance when compared to the drone’s weight. These systems have no shipping restrictions and can be shipped worldwide.
Ballistic Parachute
Deployment Systems
We have a full range ballistic parachute deployment systems to choose from. The Peregrine UAV Light uses a small CO2 cartridge to deploy the parachute out and away from the UAV. The system shown uses the 120" IFC-120-SULR parachute, is rated at a full 20kg, and weighs just over 1kg.
Rocketry & Research
Parachutes
Our Classic Elliptical parachute is available in sizes from 12" up to 120". For rockets where space is at a premium, we have the Iris Ultra parachute from 30" up to 240" (20 feet). The unique toroidal design results in a coefficient of drag (Cd) of 2.2 or higher! This means you can use a smaller, lighter parachute for a given recovery weight.
Fixed Wing Parachutes
The Iris Ultra parachute with Spectra lines provides unmatched performance relative to weight. We provide Fixed Wing Recovery Bundles with everything you need for a quick and easy set up.
Drone Electronics
Specialized for the drone and UAV market, our drone electronics include automatic trigger systems, manual ejection radios and trigger units, LiPo batteries, balance chargers, adapters and more.
