Since the release of the PD Velocity in 1999, Performance Designs learned lot about cross-braced canopies. While on the surface the Competition Velocity may look similar to a regular Velocity, it is a completely different machine. With improved aerodynamics, better openings, more powerful rear risers, and better slow flight characteristics on the toggles, the Competition Velocity is like a Velocity on steroids. If you are looking for a step up in opening, flight, and landing performance from your current cross-braced canopy, the Competition Velocity is for you.

The Velocity's rigid cross-braced structure and extremely responsive controls make it a long-standing staple in the high-performance canopy piloting community. Incredibly clean aerodynamics give this powerful wing a wide speed range and amazing performance opportunities when in the right hands. From opening to landing, this is a very capable but very demanding canopy.

Using what was learned from the design of the PD 9-cell, Performance Designs released a 7-cell version. Constructed entirely of traditional low porosity fabric. Designed for skydivers looking for a canopy with traditional 7-cell characteristics, the PD 7-cell was a great choice for those interested in casual accuracy, demos, and CReW during its time.

If you are serious about CReW, then there is only one choice: the PD Lightning. The Lightning is not just a "regular canopy with CReW lines." It is a canopy designed from the ground up with one thing in mind - canopy relative work. From the pilot chute and bridle retraction system, to heavy duty reinforcement, special trims, and tail pockets, the Lightning has what you need to perform at your best. Whether it's setting world records for the largest formation or the fastest rotation times, the Lightning is the #1 choice in CReW canopies.
