Online Descent Rate Calculator
| Published: Dec 28, 2015
We are pleased to release our new online descent rate calculator. Not only does it plot parachute performance over a range of weights, it also compares two key parachute metrics in a side by side in easy-to-understand charts!
UPDATE January 4, 2016 - The descent rate calculator is now out of beta and available for use: Parachute Descent Rate Calculator
The Online Descent Rate Calculator tool allows accurate and fast evaluation of parachute performance over a range of weight classes. You can compare two parachutes side by side to instantly understand the differences in performance, weight, packing volume and more. Over time, we will add other manufacturers' parachutes as well. Features include:
- Complete Fruity Chutes database of parachutes
- Comphrehensive metrics for all parachutes provided
- Imprial and metric units support
- Comparison with some parachutes by other manufacturers (more will be added)
- UAV recovery systems to be added as well
