||
· MC-4 - Designed as a military free fall parachute system for the US Army Special Forces, the MC-4 is designed to meet the full range of military free fall parachute operations, including HALO (high altitude, low opening) and HAHO (high altitude, high opening) conducted by the most sophisticated of military parachute organizations around the globe. · MC-5 - Essentially the same as the MC-4, however this system is static line or freefall convertible. · CT-6 - Designed after the Para-Flite MC-4 and MC-5 parachute systems, the CT-6 parachute assembly is a back type assembly, with the canopies mounted in a reserve over main configuration. This is a convertible system from free-fall to static-line configuration. The identical main and reserve canopies are of the ram air design with a 7-cell configuration and have full steering capabilities. · MT1 Series - includes the MT-1S, MT-1X and MT-1Z parachute systems. Providing a full range of tactical parachutes for Special Operations, HALO, and HAHO missions, the MT-1 Series of parachutes were specifically designed for tactical military operations at altitudes of up to 35,000 feet (10,668 meters) and use gliding parachutes in both the main and reserve compartments.
