The T‑10 Parachute is a proven, military-grade personnel parachute system designed for static-line airborne operations. It provides stable, vertical descent for paratroopers carrying standard combat equipment, enabling reliable mass troop deployments and training exercises.
Featuring a round, non-steerable canopy, the T‑10 inflates rapidly upon exit, minimizing oscillation and ensuring predictable descent under load. Its durable construction supports repeated training and operational jumps, maintaining performance consistency in diverse environmental conditions.
The T‑10 system is widely used for military airborne operations where safety, reliability, and controlled descent are critical.
