The Yeti UL is a "Plan" reserve parachute, a new standard like the Pull Down Apex or the Carré. The Plan reserve parachute offers maximum safety while being as compact as possible. The essential companion for hike & fly.
Stable descent without drift
During development, we took great care to optimize airflow to ensure that the reserve descends vertically without drifting or following a horizontal trajectory. The basic shape of the reserve is square and completely symmetrical.
Quick and smooth opening
The shape of the canopy, the folding procedure, and the ultra-light fabric contribute to excellent opening characteristics that are better than any other type of emergency parachute.
What is a "flat" emergency parachute?
The flat reserve parachute is a new concept developed in-house by Gin Gliders, incorporating "suspended struts." The lines are attached to triangular struts, inserted perpendicularly into the wing shape. This technique significantly reduces the surface ballooning of the parachute, resulting in an almost flat upper surface. The projected surface area is then increased by 30%. The projected surface area is the most important element of a reserve parachute: it determines the sink rate. We have thus achieved excellent sink rates by reducing the flat surface area but optimizing the projected surface area. Ultimately, the performance of this new concept is the best ever achieved.
