The Icarus Student canopy is a mistake-friendly, fun and forgiving wing, which allows for more consistent flying in all situations. And she’s built tough to withstand rough handling. Put your students on the most modern, reliable gear and watch them fly safer and progress faster. ZP construction, Vectran 750 lines, contrasting brake lines and alternating colour packing tabs optimize the Icarus Student for durability and ease of use. The long-lasting solution to your student kit.
The Icarus Student has a 9-cell planform and modern shaping that make her responsive and increases predictability and – voila! – a student canopy that students will actually enjoy flying.
This results in more confidence throughout the learning curve and unlocks faster progression.
Her flare is powerful and super forgiving to let new skydivers spend more time concentrating on progressing and less time with their faces embedded in the dirt.
The Icarus Student split colour lower surface makes it easy for whoever is counting canopies to see which ones they are. And it’s dead simple for instructors to check what way students are flying to give them radio commands.
When your students are packing the 50/50 colour scheme makes it glaringly obvious where the centre of the canopy is and where to start flaking – from the centre black cell to the outer black cell.
