T-11
Non Steerable Troop Parachute System
T-11 Non-Steerable Troop Parachute System
Replacing the legacy T-10, which has been in use with the US Army for over 50 years, the T-11, designed, developed and manufactured by Airborne Systems is the next generation non-steerable troop parachute system. Airborne Systems is the only qualified source to provide the T-11 system internationally.
The T-11 system includes the main canopy and harness and the T-11R reserve parachute.
A NEW, SAFER GENERATION OF TROOP PARACHUTE
• Carries a paratrooper with a total exit weight of 400 lbs.
• Reduces jumper injury rate by over 75%
• Minimizes opening shock thanks to a unique canopy sleeve and slider allowing for canopy inflation time of about 6 seconds
• Provides a slower rate of descent and zero oscillation even after lowering the combat load
• Adjusts to fit all body sizes from the 5th percentile female through the 97th percentile male
T-11R Reserve Parachute
In addition to the new main canopy, the T-11R reserve parachute, which replaces the T-10R, was built to fit the T-11 system’s weight range. Its innovative aero-conical design, which surpassed all U.S. Army tests and evaluations, ensures quick and reliable opening for fast and slow malfunctions with no oscillations.
New features of the T-11R include:
• A Center pull handle that allows the jumper to activate using either hand
• A Lower rate of descent than the T-10R at a higher all-up weight
• Maintained vertical orientation for the jumper allowing proper landing attitude
• Full qualification for use with both MC-6 and T-11 main parachute systems
