Precision and Safety in Every Descent
- Advanced Design The Versa™ is not just a parachute canopy; it’s a leap forward in aerial delivery technology. Unlike traditional parachutes, its unique single surface design simplifies the canopy structure while enhancing performance and reliability. With fewer components, Versa™ minimizes risk of component malfunction, ensuring a safer, more dependable flight.
- Fully Steerable and Reversible Offering exceptional maneuverability, Versa’s design allows for precise control and accurate landing. Its game-changing ability to fly forwards and backwards provides an unmatched level of flexibility and control – perfect operating in dynamic environments. Being able to adjust the direction of flight on the go ensures that payloads can be delivered more accurately to a designated target, reducing the chances of overshooting or missing the intended drop zone.
- Lightweight and Compact The Versa™ canopy is 60-70% lighter and more compact than standard ram air parachutes of similar load carrying capacity, allowing customers the ability to add an additional, redundant system within the same weight and volume budget as traditional aerial recovery methods. Versa’s compact design facilitates packing, storage and deployment – making it the right choice for modern aerial delivery and recovery.
- Versatile and Scalable Versa™ stands out due to its scalability. Whether you require a precise, agile canopy or a decelerator for heavy-duty tasks, Versa can be adjusted to fit your specific requirements.
- Superior Performance Engineered for maximum efficiency, Versa™ provides outstanding glide performance and precise landing accuracy, ensuring smooth, predictable flights with unmatched control and stability for all applications, from cargo delivery to stratospheric payload recovery.
- Proven Reliability At MMIST, we understand the importance of trust and reliability in critical missions. Having undergone extensive testing and validation, Versa has a track record of hundreds of stratospheric payload recovery missions to date. Versa™ can be counted on to deliver consistent, reliable results when it matters most.
