The Aerolite is a steerable block constructed conical shaped canopy with a straight extended skirt.

It is constructed using the very latest materials and technology to achieve both high performance and a low pack volume.

It can be fitted with either two or four connector links, for either a two or four riser harness.

It is designed for use as an emergency parachute for pilots using a pilot chute assisted deployment.

In order to achieve the high performance, but still retain a low pack volume, the canopy is fitted with a full diaper for line stowage on the canopy.

The Aerolite is not approved for use without the diaper.

A ‘clam shell’ vent gap allows air flow through the apex vent during opening, but closes to restrict airflow once the canopy is fully inflated.

(extract from FAA Advisory Circular AC 105-2A)

“Assembly or mating of major parachute components from different manufacturers may be made by a certified and appropriately rated parachute rigger or parachute loft without further authorisation by the manufacturer. Each component of the resulting assembly should function properly and may not interfere with the operation of the other components. Any questions about the strength or operation of the assembly should be resolved by actual tests by the rigger or loft to make certain the parachute is safe for emergency use”.
