    ICARUS Canopies is pleased to announce the release of the new ICARUS Reserve canopy. With this addition to its range of products, ICARUS Canopies provides a complete range of parachutes for the most demanding skydivers. The introduction of the ICARUS Reserve complements the world renowned Icarus main canopies like the SAFIRE 2, the CROSSFIRE 2, the OMEGA, the OMNI, the ICARUS Tandem, the EXTREME FX and the EXTREME VX, offering a complete canopy solution for the modern skydiver and canopy pilot.
    Following its vision to design and develop the finest state-of-the-art wings, ICARUS Canopies is offering the ICARUS Reserve with the highest construction standards and impressive performance that will satisfy the high demands of today’s skydivers. ICARUS Canopies has successfully completed the ETSO-C23d by EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) and TSO-C23d (FAA) testing and certification process, complying with the latest and highest requirements for safety and performance in the industry.
    The ICARUS Reserve is a 7-cell canopy with made of low porosity fabric and Spectra lines for reduced pack volume. Sizes are available from 99 to 279 sq. ft (no custom sizes). The ICARUS Reserve is only available in WHITE.
The ICARUS Reserve is designed and constructed as a low aspect ratio, 7-cell parachute with a square planform for stability during opening, flight and landing, exhibiting predictable behavior throughout its entire flight.
    To ensure a solid parachute able to withstand all conditions required by the Aerospace Standard AS8015B, the FAA TSO-C23d and the EASA ETSOC23d, the ICARUS Reserve uses extra reinforcement where needed (chordwise, spanwise, throughout the nose, and at all line attachment points)
    The ICARUS Reserve canopy features a low pack volume as compared to other reserve parachutes, thanks to the use of 0-3 CFM low permeability, high quality ripstop fabric (SASPA T-34, PIA C-44378C Type IV), together with its unique reinforced construction. However, exact pack volume can be affected by many things including environmental factors, packing technique, and even the number of pack jobs on the canopy.
    The suspension lines are 725lb Spectra, with the lower steering lines made of 1000lb Spectra. Line attachment points are secured with double bartacks for higher strength. ICARUS Reserve Spectra lines are coated to assure better protection during packing, opening and after landing, better resisting damage from bushes, sand, Velcro hook, etc….
    The ICARUS Reserve slider includes an opening in the center and extra reinforcement to ensure fast and reliable openings.
    The ICARUS Reserve is manufactured under the highest Quality Control standards. All materials are thoroughly inspected and tested according to military (MIL SPECS) standards. The manufacturing process is strictly controlled under ISO 9001:2000, NATO AQAP 2120, EN9100:2003 for Aerospace Quality Standard, EASA Part 21A.G.
