Force Tandem

Force Tandem

Force Tandem is designed to be used in different special tasks, such as delivery of specialists without parachute skills (doctors, sappers, snipers) and cargo up to 125 kg to a certain spot.

 

Force Tandem has a freefall stabilization system (drogue) with manual or static line deployment.

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 370 km/h (3-5 seconds).

 

High-altitude airdrop can be carried out from the altitudes up to top service ceiling (using oxygen equipment).

 

Force Tandem parachute system has: fittings for a passenger/cargo container, 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 Tandem 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 passenger or 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 connect passenger or standard/long cargo).

 

All Force Tandem systems have RSL or DRD systems, 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.
