Pilot by Aerodyne
A canopy designed by pilots for pilots.
The Pilot, by Aerodyne, is a 9-cell ram-air canopy with top and bottom skins built from zero-porosity fabric for best performance and longevity. Since its introduction, the Pilot has charmed beginners and experienced jumpers alike. Whether your cup of tea is a conventional approach or something a little more playful, the Pilot will surprise you with its stable flight, responsive turns and comfortable flare. When flown under a lighter wing loading, the Pilot is an ideal choice for those who downsize after initial training and buy their first canopy. Increase the wing loading and the Pilot becomes a favorite companion of the more experienced skydiver who enjoys the higher performance and faster turns it can produce.
Features or the Pilot:
Comes standard with 725 lbs. Spectra lines, soft links and a slider with new “lightweight” stainless steel grommets
Made of zero-p fabric for ultimate performance and longevity
Avalable in Aerodyne's new ZPX fabric as an option
Color coded line attachments for easier PRO packing
Moderate “planform factor” provides excellent turn response without excessive oversteer

 Sensei
Nearly ten years in research and development make the Sensei Project the longest test-piloting program of any ram-air canopy in history. Now Aerodyne Research has teamed with master designer Brian Germain to bring this elegant canopy design to the marketplace.
In order to shave some of the increased drag experienced at high speeds, the Sensei uses a 21-cell cross-braced infrastructure. This makes it a beautifully proportioned wing, configured into seven cells.
Twenty eight tiny but incredibly strong suspension lines constructed of High Modulus Aramid fiber are coated for extra wear resistance. These low drag lines are essential for preservation of energy. We know you worked hard for your airspeed, and we want you to keep it all the way to the entry gate.
The carefully sculpted airfoil is a novel "Fat-Tail" design, with a greater thickness at the trailing edge to create superior stability when maneuvering with rear risers, especially when pulling high Gs around the corner, down in the power band.
The reduced span at the trailing edge makes the canopy more responsive to toggle input during ground effect and throughout the flare.
The Sensei comes standard with 500 HMA lines.

 Vision by Aerodyne
Once again the Aerodyne development team refused to be bound by the "status quo". We wanted to address more than just the aerodynamics of high performance. Many who have preceded us have done this. We feel an equally important need to address the emotional side of canopy flight. How does the canopy feel, how does it respond to your commands, does it feel natural in flight, does it instill confidence? We want our designs to be extensions of the pilot, canopies that feel and look as good in flight as they do on a computer model, maybe even better. Is that possible? We know it is! This canopy is the embodiment of that goal. What better name for it than after the "Vision" that inspired us? The Vision is the canopy for those of you who share this desire with us. Those who want a bit more…faster turns, higher speeds and longer swoops in a canopy that feels as though it can almost anticipate what you want it to do. We refer to this as "a natural feeling of high performance flight". What does this mean? Our best recommendation is to say: "Go out and try one for yourself". Imagine the feel of flying a high performance canopy that is in tune with its pilot. Experience a Vision of flight, as you never have before. The Aerodyne Vision.
FEATURES:
Utilizes the same advanced aerodynamic inlet as the ultra-high performance Amax
Comes standard with 725 lbs. Spectra lines, soft links and a slider with new "super lightweight" stainless steel grommets
A high performance canopy designed for experienced pilots
High performance with a natural in-flight feel
Small pack volume

 Triathalon by Aerodyne
The Triathlon is a seven-cell, zero-porosity parachute designed for skydivers who want one canopy that does it all.
Today's skydiver is much more versatile and multi-talented than ever before. Free-fall, canopy relative work (CReW), free-style, sky-surfing, sit-flying, demo jumping, cross-country flying, parabatics, and more...are all readily available to the weekend fun-jumper. The Triathlon was designed to excel in all of those specialties!
The Triathlon was designed, created, and perfected by Aerodyne Research to help make your choice of a new main canopy simple and decisive. This is a user-friendly parachute with exceptional packing, opening, flying, and landing characteristics. It uses a special innovative advanced Zero-Porosity fabric created especially for the Triathlon that is incredibly easy to pack. The Triathlon has achieved a superb reputation for dependably soft and consistent on-heading openings.
The Triathlon is great fun to fly with light toggle pressure and quick turns. The very efficient Triathlon airfoil has a fast forward speed and excellent glide, and has achieved an excellent reputation for rock-solid stability, even in extremely turbulent conditions. Landings under a Triathlon are especially impressive. You can perform spectacular turf-surfs or land softly on a tight demo approach. The Triathlon is the canopy of choice for the world's most accomplished professional parachute demonstration teams. If you are a person who might enjoy doing CRW one morning, freeflying in the afternoon, and a big way at the end of the day, the Triathlon can do it all. Comes standard with your choice of 825 Spectra or 525 Dacron lines and an innovative single drawstring collapsible slider.

Solo by Aerodyne
THE student main canopy
It is all about confidence and reliability. Whether you are a drop zone owner or a first jump student, the last thing you need to be concerned with is your equipment. The Solo student canopy can give you that confidence. Strong where it needs to be, forgiving when it has to be, the Solo provides all of the characteristics needed for successful student training.
The Solo is durable, with extra reinforcement, while being easy to pack. Its opening flight and landing characteristics have been tailored to allow you to teach your students proper modern piloting techniques. This has become vitally important in today’s world of high performance canopies. We have even considered the difficult transition path from student to novice and beyond. As the student becomes more experienced and is prepared to downsize, the Solo’s design allows for a natural transition to our Pilot canopy. This allows the novice canopy pilot an easy and straightforward transition from student equipment to their own, without the need to “re-learn” the canopy’s characteristics. This provides a much safer and more enjoyable transition, with continued learning.
We have even built in visual cues to allow for easier PRO packing training. By utilizing color-coded line attachments, the student learns proper packing techniques in much less time and with greater confidence.
The Solo is truly a complete student main. When it is time for your students to fly Solo, this is the canopy.
