Villingen-Schwenningen. The two rescue parachutes PROTECT 38 + 42 now have a bigger brother: The PROTECT Duo has been designed as the rescue parachute for tandem pilots and their passengers.
The PROTECT DUO has an area of 69,90 square meters with 36 tracks of material. The rescue system convinces with low sink rates, very fast opening times and high oscillation stability and is of course DHV certified. The low sink rate values, for example 5,8 m/s for a flight weight of 210 kilograms, are reached with innovative solutions. The PROTECT DUO has a mixture of materials of highly modern Nylon which is impermeable at the top region and 60% semi-permeable in the other regions. The asymmetric opening and the two inner lines provide the high oscillatory stability.
Finally the PROTECT DUO has a small auxilliary parachute which is connected to the inner container and which effectively supports a fast opening of the main rescue system. The DHV tests stipulate for example that the rescue system has to open within a vertical distance of 60 meters – this value is reduced by up to 30%, thanks to the special construction of the DUO. The high quality assurance during production garantees that this is the case for every single rescue system. Each PROTECT DUO is checked four times before it is delivered.
