Paragliding is an exhilarating activity that combines the thrill of flight with the panoramic beauty of nature seen from above. To guarantee pilots' safety, a rescue parachute is an essential piece of equipment, capable of transforming a critical moment into a safe descent. At Air et Aventure, we understand the importance of this safety device, and offer a variety of rescue parachutes to suit every type of pilot and practice. Here's a guide to the different types of rescue parachutes available, designed to help you make the most informed choice.
Round rescue parachutes are the most traditional models. They offer a smooth opening and are appreciated for their ease of maintenance. Although they are less efficient in terms of descent speed than more recent models, their affordable cost makes them a viable option for many pilots.
Designed to improve stability and performance, square rescue parachutes feature faster opening and reduced descent speed. These features make them particularly suitable for emergency situations where every second counts. Packing them, however, requires a little more precision.
Combining the advantages of round and square models, triangular rescue parachutes offer improved stability and a descent that, depending on the model, can be steered. Their higher cost and packing complexity are offset by superior performance, particularly appreciated by experienced pilots.
These advanced parachutes offer directional control after opening, allowing you to divert to a safer landing zone. They require a little experience to pack, but probably offer the best sink rate of any rescue parachute.
Choosing the right parachute for the pilot's weight is crucial to guarantee the best performance and safety. Parachutes are available in different categories: standard, light and ultra-light, each offering specific advantages in terms of weight and volume.
At Air et Aventure, we're committed to offering our customers the highest quality rescue parachutes at competitive prices. Our extensive range ensures that every pilot finds the right parachute for his or her specific needs, without compromising safety or performance.
