PARIS -
Parachute Insertion System

The
PARIS (Parachute Insertion System) was developed through an innovative
combination of parachute and paragliding technology, offering significantly
greater offset capability. The PARIS offers the ultimate in improved glide
performance while maintaining handling docility and ease of use. It provides
Special Operations elements a specific HAHO (high altitude high opening) mission
parachute. The chordwise constructed, elliptical, 17-cell 380 sq. ft. ram air
canopy is deployed through conventional means and used as a main only canopy. A
glide ratio of approximately 6:1 is achieved by a judicious association of the
ultimate parachute and paraglider design techniques and the utilization of zero
porosity coated nylon ripstop fabric in the top surface and ribs. The Paris
-Parachute Insertion System P/N 830000-0x includes the following: Main Canopy
complete with Risers, Main with Rapid Descent Device and Toggles P/N 830005.
MT-1Z 308 Reserve Canopy P/N 820455. Harness/Container Assembly complete with
Military Cypres AAD configuration (AAD not included), Reserve Deployment System,
Main Deployment Bag, Main Pilot Chute and Bridle, Main Ripcord, Reserve Ripcord,
Main Release Ripcord, Reserve Static Line, Main Closing Loop, Main and Reserve
Toggles, and Oxygen Pocket Assembly, Single 88 (Oxygen system not included) P/N
886451.
