What is a Cargo Parachute?

A Cargo Parachute (PARACHUTE,CARGO) is a parachute used to drop loads or cargo from an aircraft in flight.

What is a Pilot Chute?

A Pilot Chute is a small parachute canopy attached to a larger canopy to actuate and accelerate the opening of the load bearing canopy. When used in conjunction with personnel parachutes, it is usually equipped with a spring opening device. When it is mounted on a tandem parachute, it retards and stabilizes, before the opening of the load bearing canopy.

What is a Parachute Rip Cord?

A Parachute Rip Cord (RIP CORD,PARACHUTE) is a cord or cable having a hand grip and locking pin, which when pulled, will permit the parachute pack to open.

What is a Parachute Riser Extension?

A Parachute Riser Extension (RISER EXTENSION,PARACHUTE) is an arrangement of straps and hardware which is attached to the canopy suspension line connector links and to the harness of a personnel parachute or PARACHUTE,CARGO. It functions as, or as an extension of, the riser straps of ajettisonable or adjustable type parachute.

What is a Parachute Deployment Bag?

A Parachute Deployment Bag (DEPLOYMENT BAG,PARACHUTE) is a complete or partial container, usually of fabric, into which the parachute or a part of it is folded. It is designed to assist and control the portion of a parachute's operation occurring from the time of pack opening to the instant the suspension lines are fully extended, but prior to the inflation of the canopy. The bag may be attached to the static line, pilot chute or some other component of the parachute.

What is a Parachute Bridle?

A Parachute Bridle (BRIDLE,PARACHUTE) is an item made principally of WEBBING, TEXTILE, with an arrangement of integral loops, used for connecting a PILOT CHUTE or a DEPLOYMENT BAG, PARACHUTE to a parachute canopy; or a PILOT CHUTE to a DEPLOYMENT BAG, PARACHUTE.

NATO Supply Class 1670 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 16, which pertains to Aerospace Craft Components and Accessories. Specifically, Class 1670 focuses on Parachutes, Aerial Pick Up, Delivery, Recovery Systems, and Cargo Tie Down Equipment.

Parachutes are essential safety devices used in various aerospace applications, including military operations, aviation, and space exploration. They are designed to slow down the descent of an object or person through the air by creating drag. Parachutes are commonly used for personnel and cargo airdrops, emergency escape systems, and recovery operations.

Aerial Pick Up, Delivery, Recovery Systems are specialized equipment used to facilitate the safe and efficient transport of personnel, equipment, and supplies in airborne operations. These systems include devices such as hoists, winches, and slings that enable the attachment, lifting, and release of loads from aircraft.

Cargo Tie Down Equipment is used to secure cargo and prevent it from shifting or becoming damaged during transportation. This equipment includes straps, nets, chains, and other devices that are designed to withstand the forces experienced during aerial operations.

NATO Supply Class 1670 encompasses a wide range of equipment and systems that are crucial for the successful execution of airborne operations. These components and accessories play a vital role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of military and civilian aerospace activities.

It is important to note that the classification system used by NATO helps standardize the identification and categorization of military equipment and supplies. This facilitates interoperability and logistical support among NATO member countries, ensuring compatibility and efficiency in multinational operations.
