Emergency Evacuation Systems' singular mission and stringent standards are evident throughout our rescue parachute systems from our unique canopy and harness design to our meticulous manufacturing and maintenance processes.

Our rescue parachute systems are designed and tested with the purpose of saving lives. We believe this focus, combined with our extensive experience, rigorous testing procedures, and international TSO certification, is critical to your ultimate safety.

Emergency Evacuation Systems taps a rich heritage of parachuting excellence and craftsmanship. Our technical experts and staff have been manufacturing TSO (Technical Standard Order) certified rescue parachutes for pilots, military paratroopers and small aircraft for more than ten years.

In developing the our rescue parachute systems, we have worked in close cooperation with top military consultants, test pilots as well as relying on their vast knowledge and experience in parachute design and technology.

Each personal rescue parachute system we manufacture utilizes the Evacuchute parachute canopy-a cutting edge parachute design that provides the most stable, reliable parachute deployment available.

The standard conic shaped canopy was developed in the early 1970's with the intention to rescue pilots. It is the most stable and reliable parachute design available. This parachute was designed to give pilots the ability to fight to gain control of their airplane to the lowest possible altitude, and still be able to abandon the airplane with a parachute that would open at an extremely low altitude.

The Evacuchute designers chose this parachute shape as the base of their design for this reason; however, no other conic shaped canopy is identical to ours.

We studied the conic parachute shape and made modifications to improve stability, steering with forward speed, and a smooth reliable opening. We concentrated on automatic stabilization, which uses the principles of pressure distribution, or air resistance, so there would be virtually no spilling of air. This means no "pulsing". The parachute canopy is kept fully open, stable and descending at the slowest speed possible immediately.

The Evacuchute parachute canopy is designed to perform reliably in extreme turbulence and weather conditions. In these conditions, the main effects to a parachute are up or down drafts. Since the Evacuchute works on the principle of air resistance, it is designed to keep maximum pressure in the canopy. So, no matter how strong, turbulent or swirling the wind is, there is no excessive air spill and the canopy always remains inflated. Extreme weather will affect the descent rate and the ability to control landing location may be limited. However, there have never been any incidents of parachute deflation or fatalities in extreme weather with the Evacuchute parachute canopy. (Model JU-40 in the Bureau of Civil Aviation records.)
