Icarus GT-R Main Canopy

Description

GT-R is a super high performance skydiving canopy designed around a highly aggressive Schuemann wing planform by applying advanced parachute design methodologies with in-house developed cutting edge computational fluid dynamic software tools.

The GT-R design has 7 tri-cells cross braced with ICARUS proprietary ARC bracing system. ARC is designed around the concept of carrying the flight loads through an internal membrane acting as an skeleton and allowing the outer surfaces to be shaped specifically to fit their aerodynamic requirements and therefore be more lift/drag efficient.

GT-R is hybrid in construction with all upper and lower airfoil surfaces as well as the cross braces built with zero porosity fabric. The loading ribs are made out of sailcloth fabric

PILOT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

GT-R is a high performance canopy, a class above normal high performance cross brace canopies.

The minimum requirements to jump a GT-R are:

• 1500 jumps
• 500 jumps on a cross braced canopy at 2.0 wing loading or above
• 250 jumps minimum in the last 12 months
• Reference from a credentialed coach
