Cargo parachute for different load
Parachute and Containers Air-to-Ground Transportation System
Parachute and container air-to-ground transportation system represents a new solution to cargo transportation. This new system allows transportation of cargo both by the Mi-4, Mi-17, Mi-19, PZL Sokol helicopters and by turboprop transport aircraft of the L-410, L-610, An-24 and An-26 types.
System’s Main Applications
Storage and hauling of cargo
Rescue operations (flood relief; natural disasters, where the precise air-drop primarily from the helicopters is being needed)
It is advantageous mostly because of the relatively low filling power needed for opening and filling attained by use of attenuating diaphragm (slider)
Parachute canopy is manufactured from very light and tensile strength fabric
Parachute is pressed under high pressure. That makes the advantage of its small size and better operation when opening
Delivery is possible as softpack (ie. pressed into a linen container of relatively small size) or in conventional containers
