The FireBolt Main
The FireBolt is a fully elliptical main canopy with a 2.65:1 aspect ratio, designed using a CAD 3D system to ensure precision design scaling. It features a zero-p top skin and a F111 bottom skin enabling easy packing and reduced pack volume.
 |
The leading edge features "Shark's Teeth" which enhance the flight characteristics and allow for soft, on-heading openings. Lightly loaded this canopy is suitable for less experienced jumpers, but highly loaded it will fly and swoop at high performance levels.
The sport model is available in sizes ranging from 75 sq.ft. up to 272 sq. ft. while the tandem version comes in 3 sizes, 298 sq. ft. 350 sq. ft. and 396 sq. ft.
