A highly reliable, low altitude parachute which has improved capabilities when compared to the traditional T-10 troop parachute.Fully open and vertical in less than 250 ft (76 m) of altitude loss. Opening shock of less than 8 g’s [360 lbs (163 kg) at 150 knots].Includes a unique Pioneer feature, which is the ability to turn or to glide on demand.Lanyard Canopy Releases permit easy separation from the parachute during windy drop zone conditions.TAPPS permits rapid, multiple door exits from aircraft without danger of mid-air collisions or entanglements, while still retaining the ability to glide and turn as the parachutist is approaching the drop zone. TAPPS returns to neutral in the hands-off mode.Slower descent rates than the T-10 parachute, make this a better option for heavilyladen jumpers.A higher drag canopy shape and increased canopy diameter provide a descent rate of 20.5 fps, compared with the T-10B’s 22 fps descent rate at 360 lbs (163 kg).TAPPS Assembly will pack into the standard T10/MC1 Harness and Pack Assembly. TAPPS Assembly includes: canopy, harness, container, static line and deployment bag.specsclick to enlarge images, TACTICAL ASSAULT PERSONNEL PARACHUTE SYSTEM (TAPPS)-->
