Accuracy Jumping equipment

Recommended Posts

Who makes accuracy canopies. Which one does the Golden Knights use today. What is the name of some of the better accuracy canopies made today and who makes them. Thanks for any help you could give me.


Every day is a great day, some are just a little better.

I know the GKs were jumping Stillettos at one point...

The GK 8-way team was jumping Stilettos, but GK demo teams were jumping Startacs while their accuracy team still jumped Parafoils.
GKs know how to dress for success.

What makes a good accuracy canopy? What qualities?



AFAIK, big low-aspect 7 cell, very big (high cells, flown at a low WL, good at slow flight and very good at sinking. IE the Classic has holes in the bottom skin to keep it inflated.

In fact, sorta like BASE canopies ;) only accuracy canopies probably open a bit better.
