   The Icarus Omega is a 7-Cell, lightly elliptical, Zero Porosity canopy. It  has been designed as an all round no hassles, fun canopy. It is super easy to use with beautiful 7-Cell openings, easy packing, and gentle landings. Zero-Porosity 7-Cells have been gaining popularity because of their ease of use and low baggage factor.
    The Icarus Omega is a truly elliptical canopy, but the shaping is very light. The planform has been optimized between enhancing the canopy's performance and feel, yet maintaining easy flight characteristics and consistent controlled openings. The Omega's cells vary in width across the canopy to maintain a constant cell aspect ratio and to consistently control the airfoil shape across the canopy.
    At lighter wing loadings (Below .9 lbs./ft²) it is a good student transition or first canopy, or for someone who just wants to take it easy. At heavier wing loadings (Up to 1.5 lbs./ft²) it will get zippy and fun while maintaining easy openings and reasonable landings. Being a 7-Cell of conventional construction the pack volume is very small.
    The Icarus Omega is available in "any" size ranging from 90 to 270 square feet, and is priced by the square foot. If you want an Icarus Omega in a 127.6 square foot canopy, for example, we will custom-make it for you, so you can have a canopy which gives you the exact wing-loading you require. Standard sizes of the Omega are maintained in our stock program.
    We recommend it for wing loadings from .75 to 1.5 lbs./ft².
