Force Stab
Force Stab
Force Stab is designed for airdrop paratroopers with introductory level of training, having various additional equipment, weapons, instruments etc.
Force Stab has main container above reserve container, for parachute jumps with stabilization by the drogue.
Landing can be performed on equipped airfields and on limited spots.
The maximum airdrop speed is not limited if main opened with delay sufficient for deceleration to 309 km/h (3-5 seconds).
High-altitude airdrop can be carried out from the altitudes up to top service ceiling (using oxygen equipment).
Force Stab parachute systems have: fittings for cargo containers, loops for attachments, removable pockets and retractions designed to protect parachute from getting caught in the equipment, and to place the oxygen equipment. By special request leg pads can be made with larger width (for a parachute opening at high altitude and long-distance flights), and may have additional pockets to accommodate small cargo.
Harness System Force Stab has up to 8 points to attach the cargo:
- Basic (in the chest area for a standard freight container or link);
- Upper (in three ring area for long loads);
- Bottom (near the laterals, cargo container is placed under the buttocks);
- Side of the container (in the lower part of the rig, to restrain standard and long cargo)
All Force Stab systems have RSL system, to improve the safety of parachutists with a large number of attachments.
AAD control panel is placed on the outside of the container – to help AAD operation in a limited space. Reserve pincover flap has a transparent window to control the position of pin without having to open the flap.
