    The T-11 non-steerable troop parachute was developed for today's warfighter. With minimal opening shock, a slow rate of descent and zero oscillation the jumper is provided with increased safety. The parachute fits body sizes from the 5th percentile female through the 97th percentile male. The T-11 achieves a lower rate of descent by having a canopy that is 28 percent larger than the T-10.

    T-11

    NON STEERABLE TROOP PARACHUTE SYSTEM


    The T-11 non-steerable troop parachute, developed for todays warfighter, replaces the T-10 parachute which has been in service for over 50 years. The T-11 was specifically designed by Airborne Systems to carry a paratrooper, with a total exit weight of 400 pounds safely to the ground. With minimal opening shock, a slow rate of descent and zero oscillation the jumper is provided with increased safety, allowing for successful completion of their combat mission. This newly designed parachute fits body sizes from the 5th percentile female through the 97th percentile male. A unique canopy sleeve and slider controlled deployment sequence allows for smooth canopy inflation in about six seconds. As a result, the T-11s opening shock has been greatly reduced, especially when compared with conventional systems. The unique design of the main canopy allows for minimal oscillation after canopy inflation, even after lowering the combat load. The T-11 achieves a lower rate of descent by having a canopy that is 28 percent larger than the T-10, resulting in a remarkable reduction in landing injuries; greater than 75% over 3,000 jumps.

    T-11
    T-11R
    In addition to the new main canopy, the T-10R has been replaced by the T-11R reserve parachute. The T-11R is an aero-conical design and was tested extensively by the US Army under various types of main canopy malfunctions proving the T-11R to be much more reliable and more effective than the T-10R. The reserve attachment points are at the same location as the main riser attachment points on the T-11. The common attachment points allow the force of the reserve deployment to be transmitted through the long axis of the jumpers body. Additionally, the jumper is able to maintain a vertical orientation under the reserve canopy, enabling a proper prepare-to-land vertical attitude.
