The Aerodyne M9 Tactical Parachute System is a purpose‑built freefall parachute platform designed for advanced airborne operations and tactical progression. Engineered for reliability and consistent performance, the M9 serves as a versatile main canopy for both accelerated freefall (AFF) and static line training applications, making it suitable for structured progression environments and mission‑oriented jumps.
Core Features
Multi‑modal deployment: Configured to support AFF and static line training sequences, facilitating both controlled student progression and tactical training requirements.
Robust construction: The canopy uses zero‑porosity (ZP) fabric on the top surface with high‑performance bottom skin and ribs, providing a balance between durability and reliable descent control.
9‑cell design: Offers predictable flight behaviour and controlled glide characteristics.
Jump performance: Designed for jumper exit weights up to approximately 300 lbs (136 kg) and deployment at up to 150 knots maximum, making it suitable for a wide range of conditions in tactical and training applications.
The M9 system includes adjustable harness components and is compatible with automatic activation devices and other standard safety features. Its balanced opening forces and descent rate support disciplined canopy control across both training and operational use cases.
