Description
Performance Designs Velocity has set the standard for crossbraced canopy performance. This canopy is designed specifically to satisfy pilots who have already been jumping high performance elliptical canopies at high wing loadings, and are looking for something more. Its rigid crossbraced structure and extremely responsive controls provide a feeling of direct “connection” to your body. Incredibly clean aerodynamics give this powerful wing the largest flight speed range available, and amazing performance opportunities in the right hands. From opening to landing this is a very capable but very demanding canopy. The Velocity continues to allow highly experienced pilots to explore a range of ram air flight never before possible.
The Velocity has the broadest speed range of anything PD has built! It is a highly elliptical 7-Cell canopy with cross bracing. It is a very clean wing with a super steep trim. The openings have very slow inflation and slider movement, and are very harness sensitive. The Velocity has the ability to float in deep brakes, and race to the ground in full flight. Turns are crisp and the canopy accelerates in the recovery arc, which generates speed for your swoops and lift for the finish.
