Cargo Parachute

Cargo parachutes are specialized parachutes designed for the airdrop of cargo from aircraft. They are part of the supply class Parachutes; Aerial Pick Up, Delivery, Recovery Systems; and Cargo Tie Down Equipment in the supply group Aerospace Craft Components and Accessories.

Cargo parachutes are typically made of strong and durable materials such as nylon or Kevlar. They are designed to withstand the forces exerted during the airdrop process and ensure the safe delivery of cargo to the ground.

Cargo parachutes are used in various industries, including military operations, humanitarian aid, and commercial cargo transportation. They are essential for delivering supplies, equipment, and other cargo to remote or inaccessible areas.

These parachutes are equipped with features such as deployment systems, release mechanisms, and control devices to ensure accurate and controlled descent. They are designed to provide stability and control during the descent, allowing for precise delivery of the cargo.

Cargo tie-down equipment is also included in this supply group. This equipment is used to secure the cargo to the parachute and prevent it from shifting or becoming damaged during the airdrop. It includes straps, harnesses, and other devices that are specifically designed for securing cargo in an aircraft.

Overall, cargo parachutes and tie-down equipment play a crucial role in the safe and efficient delivery of cargo via airdrop. They are designed to withstand the rigors of the airdrop process and ensure that the cargo reaches its destination intact.
