Rocketman Ultra-Light Parabolic Parachutes

These parachutes are less than half the weight and packing volume of our Standard Parabolic Parachutes, making them perfect for high-altitude rockets, weather balloons, and UAVs where every ounce counts.

Key Features:

  • Ultra-Light Materials: Entire canopy constructed from .66 oz ripstop nylon; seams reinforced with tape instead of heavier webbing.

  • Spectra Shroud Lines: High-strength, lightweight Spectra lines maintain stability while reducing weight.

  • Compact & Efficient: Ideal for rockets with limited internal volume, maintaining the reliable 4-line parabolic design you trust.

  • Fast, Stable Deployment: Quick opening and highly stable in flight—resists spinning and oscillation.

Applications: The go-to choice for rockets and payloads where minimizing weight and packing space is critical, without sacrificing reliability or performance.

This parachute has a drag coefficient of .97.
