Brake Parachute for SU-30 Aircraft Brake Parachute for MiG-21 Aircraft Brake Parachute for MiG-23 Aircraft Brake Parachute for MiG-29 Aircraft Brake Parachute for Mirage-2000 Aircraft Brake Parachute for Jaguar Aircraft 
This brake parachute is intended to reduce the Aircraft landing run length or aborted take off.
• Span of Main Parachute : 7 sqm
• No. of rigging lines : 32
• Normal Landing Speed : 260 kmph (72.2 m/s)
• Emergency Landing Speed : 300 kmph (83.3 m/s)
• Max. Operational load : 23 kg
• Basic Material : Fabric Nylon 66, 93 gm undyed
• Design of Canopy : Canopy Unicross Design
• Life of Parachute : The life of the parachute system is 10 years or 45 streamings whichever is earlier.
The brake parachute is used on MiG-21 aircrafts as a brake in addition to the main mechanical brakes during emergency landing or on short wet runway. This brake parachute system ensures required reduction of landing run at speed not exceeding 180 kmph when system is released. Recommended aircraft speed at which the parachute should be jettisoned at the end of decelerating run - 30 knots.
• Across Measurement of canopy : 5.45 meter
• No. of rigging lines : 28
• Normal Landing Speed : 180 kmph (72.2 m/s)
• Emergency Landing Speed : 290 kmph (83.3 m/s)
• Basic Material : Fabric Nylon 109 gm Undyed
• Design of Canopy : Canopy Unicross Design
• Life of Parachute : 10 years or 40 streamings whichever is earlier. In case of Parachute operated at speed above 290 Kmph the same cannot be used again for further streaming.
The brake parachute is used on MiG-23 aircrafts as a brake in addition to the main mechanical brakes during emergency landing or on short wet runway. This brake parachute system ensures required reduction of landing run at speed not exceeding 250 kmph when system is released. Recommended aircraft speed at which the parachute should be jettisoned at the end of decelerating run at 30 knots.
• Across Measurement of canopy : 6.30 meter
• No. of rigging lines : 32
• Normal Landing Speed : 250 kmph (72.2 m/s)
• Emergency Landing Speed : 320 kmph (83.3 m/s)
• Basic Material : Fabric Nylon 109 gm Undyed
• Design of Canopy : Canopy Unicross Design
• Life of Parachute : 10 years or 40 streamings whichever is earlier. In case of Parachute operated at speed above 320 Kmph the same cannot be used again for further streaming.
Brake Parachute for reducing the landing run of MiG-29 has been indigenously developed. Unicross design canopy has 10 m of separation distance from the aircraft tail end. A unique feature of integrated riser and rigging lines has been adopted to reduce its mass. The canopy design has also been optimised with reduced size for mass saving. On pilots command the main canopy is deployed providing deceleration to the aircraft.
• Across Measurement of canopy : 5.76 meter
• No. of rigging lines : 32
• Normal Landing Speed : 180 kmph (72.2 m/s)
• Emergency Landing Speed : 310 kmph (83.3 m/s)
• Basic Material : Fabric Nylon 93 gram undyed.
• Design of Canopy : Canopy Unicross Design
• Life of Parachute : 10 years or 65 streamings whichever is earlier. In case of Parachute operated at emergency speed of 310 kmph it should be withdrawn from the services. The parachute is also compatible to Mig29B/VB Aircraft.
The brake parachute is used to reduce the landing run of the aircraft. The parachute is stowed directly into a metal container with the parachute connecting link protruding at the aircraft end. The main parachute is held in position in the removable container by a pair of locking straps and the auxiliary parachute is stowed in a small pack which is attached to one of the straps. The brake parachute system is designed to operate normally at streaming of upto 150 Knots, but can be operated at a speed upto 180 Knots in an emergency. This parachute life is 40 streams.
• Across Measurement of canopy : 5.64 meter
• No. of rigging lines : 24
• Normal Landing Speed : 334 kmph (72.2 m/s)
• Emergency Landing Speed : 378 kmph (83.3 m/s)
• Basic Material : Ribbon Nylon 50 mm and 16 mm Undyed.
• Design of Canopy : Round design
• Life of Parachute : 10 years or 40 streamings whichever is earlier
