Rocketman Checkered Ring Sail Parachutes
-
Rocketman Ring Sail Parachutes are designed for exceptional stability, efficient descent, and reduced opening shock. Their unique checkered ring-sail construction makes them highly stable while helping lower stress on shock cords, attachment points, and recovery system connections.
- Unlike a standard solid canopy, the Ring Sail design uses multiple fabric rings separated by open airflow sections. This allows the parachute to inflate smoothly, remain stable during descent, and reduce the sudden force placed on your shock cord, attachment points, and airframe.
This design is approximately 15% more efficient than traditional ribbon parachutes, giving you dependable performance in a compact, lightweight package.

Features include:
-
- Extremely stable descent performance
- Lower opening force to reduce stress on recovery connections
- Beautiful, checkered design on every parachute
- Multiple color options available
- Bias tape sewn through the seams for added strength between rings
- The only Ring Sail Parachute available on the market
- 220 lb Spectra suspension lines
- Polyurethane-coated lines for excellent abrasion resistance
- Ultra-thin 1/32" lines to reduce packing volume and save weight
- Apex vent hole, approximately 10% of surface area
- Made in the USA
- Extremely stable descent performance
