Rocketman Rotating Star Parachutes
Our Rotating Star Parachutes create a mesmerizing spinning effect during descent, making them a crowd favorite at launches. The rotation increases drag and reduces drift, keeping your payload more stable while descending.
Key Features:
-
Unique Star Design: Dual alternating star pattern on every size for a stunning visual effect.
-
High-Speed Swivel: Includes a premium stainless steel ball-bearing swivel to prevent line tangling and ensure smooth rotation.
-
Lightweight & Compact: Made from 1.1 oz Mil-Spec calendared ripstop nylon, ideal for rockets where weight and packing volume matter.
-
Strong & Thin Lines: 200lb Spectra lines coated with Polyurethane for abrasion resistance, only 1/32” thick for minimal packing volume.
-
Stable Descent: Apex vent hole (~1% of canopy area) prevents oscillation and wobbling.
-
Custom Options: Available in custom colors for a small fee.
-
Made in the USA with high-quality materials.
Performance: Drag coefficient (Cd) = 1.65 for all sizes. Perfect for hobbyist, experimental, and high-power rocketry.
