The Fusion is Precision's entry range 9-cell elliptical main. This canopy has been developed for the skydiver who wants a little more kick and excitement than might be found in a 7-cell, but is still relatively docile when compared to our upper end 9-cell design, the Nitron. Wing loading is truly the key to the flight performance envelope of the Fusion. Depending on wing loading, the flight characteristics of the Fusion will grow from being docile and tame at the low end to exciting and zippy on the upper end, but the Fusion will always remember who is boss, and respond accordingly. The Fusion could serve a first time buyer very well for their first thousand jumps, and with the High Modulus Aramid fiber suspension lines there will be little worry about having to change out the lineset between seasons. This high-lift low-drag airfoil will always get you back from those questionable spots (or at least get you closer to the DZ than those other guys). For the more experienced skydivers flying at higher wing loadings, the Fusion can still kick up enough attitude to even satisfy those old-timers who used to fly the blade courses with their pocket rockets.

The Xaos-21 is a 21-chamber cross-braced tri-cell canopy and one of Precision Aerodynamics' highest regarded ultra performance wings. One rather analytical so-and-so suggested that "The mysterious paradox is that the Xaos-21 demonstrates the epitome of recalcitrance as it rebels against the authority of the laws of gravity, although it is only by the laws of gravity that this machine flies at its best." Translation: It likes to be loaded.

The Monarch Series of nine cell main canopies was developed by Precision Aerodynamics to answer the call of experienced skydivers who want to extract maximum performance from a Zero-P canopy. By combining Zero-Porosity fabric from Performance Textiles with the design technology at Precision Aerodynamics, we have revolutionized the meaning of Zero-P performance.

The Falcon 9 cell canopy was introduced by Precision Aerodynamics in 1986. The canopy was designed utilizing the same successful "sizing techniques" which had become so popular in the Raven main/reserve. The idea of producing a different canopy size for a specific weight range was quickly picked up by other manufacturers.

The P-124 Aviator Emergency Parachute system is the first major innovation in emergency parachute systems since the mid 1950's. The P-124 Aviator is the culmination of the efforts between Precision Aerodynamic, Inc. and Rigging Innovations Inc. The heart of the system is the P-124 ram-air canopy which is designed for use by airmen who may have no prior jump experience or who may even be incapacitated to some degree.

In May 1998 we released the world's first 27-cell crossbraced canopy in the form of the Icarus Extreme VX. At that time we had developed and produced the world's most powerful swoop machine to date, but the VX exhibited an opening sequence that virtually limited it to being a swooping canopy, and hardly acceptable as a terminal velocity skydiving canopy. During the four year period following our release of the Icarus Extreme VX, we continued to develop and refine the next generation prototype of a 27-cell crossbraced canopy, resulting in the Xaos-27.

The Raven Dash-M Series was designed from the very beginning to be a reserve-only canopy. Unlike the Super Raven Series which is commonly used as a main or as a reserve, the Raven Dash-M Series has no main bridle attachment ring and associated hardware, and no packing tabs or other bulky tapes necessary for a canopy used in the environment as a main parachute.

The Nitron (9-cell ZP elliptical) is Precision's version of the high-performance original design by Klaus Schenk that is marketed in Europe under the trade name of Nitro by the designer's company, Profile Research. The first time we jumped the Nitro, we knew immediately that we didn't want to compete with this remarkable canopy, we wanted to manufacture and market it by integrating it into the Ground Zero project.

The Synergy is a 7-cell lightly elliptical zero porosity canopy that has been described as "possibly the best all-around parachute that Precision has ever produced." From pitching the pilot chute opening the canopy to pulling the toggles landing the canopy, we have developed a parachute that delivers predictably consistent performance tuned to the styles of both newcomers and old-timers alike.
