This canopy is designed to be used as a main or a reserve. Canopy only, No accessories. CmdrDick's Military Stuff   

F E A T U R I N G:

  • These canopy systems were specifically designed and engineered for conventional military operations. This canopy is exactly as pictured.
    The actual specs for this type of system are;
    MC-5
    Military Convertible Static Line or Free-Fall System
    The MC-5 Ram Air Parachute Canopy from system assembly (NSN 1670-01-367-0304) That system combined the operationally proven features of the popular Para-Flite MT-1XX (Interim Ram Air Parachute System, NSN 1670-01-212-3335), the MC-4 Ram Air Free-Fall Personnel Parachute System (NSN 1670-01-306-2100) and the MT-1 series freefall/static line convertible systems. In conjunction with the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy, Para-Flite adapted the double deployment bag/sleeve concept to ram air parachutes, and made static line operations from high altitudes and military transport aircraft possible. By modifying the MT1-XX design, a Static Line/Freefall Convertible Parachute Assembly was produced and thoroughly tested by the U.S.
    Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA. The system was type-classified bythe U.S. Marine Corps as the MC-5 Ram Air Parachute Assembly, and later, adopted by the U.S. Navy Special Warfare Command as the MT-2 XX S/L Ram Air Parachute Assembly. The upgraded, reinforced, spanwise constructed 7-cell, 370 sq. ft. MT-1X canopy is used as both a main and reserve. These identical, interchangeable canopies reduce the logistics of maintaining separate main and reserve canopies, and reduce the cost and complexity of training, maintenance and operational use of a different size/configuration reserve canopy.
