Ram Air parachute is a highly steerable & gliding free fall parachute designed for clandestine and deep penetration into hostile territory. The 9-cell configuration is developed for use by Army, Air Force and adventure wings. The parachute is fully maneuverable and provides pinpoint landing. The canopy is rectangular with an aerofoil design and consists of two layers of almost nil-porosity fabric with intervening aerofoil-shaped ribs forming the cells. During deployment, air rams through the cell openings and the canopy forms a wing surface to generate lift.
