PurSang is the first canopy in the world that incorporates the new Synchronized Inflow Control System SICS® to control the inflation process during deployment.



Anyone know what SICS is exactly?



From the website...

Synchronized Inflow Control System SICS®
is a research and development program addressing the control of the inflation process of a highly elliptical ram-air textile wing that will ensure a constant deceleration and always on heading deployment.



By synchronizing the inflation sequence during deployment, SICS manages to produce an outstanding rate of on the mark deployments.

This innovative system has been introduced in the market in high performance skydiving canopies and allowing for very soft and straight canopy deployments even in very high wing loading conditions.

I couldn't copy the picture across but the cell opening configuration looks pretty unusual.

Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus.
