Overview

The Estes 18" Rip Stop Parachute is an excellent choice for educators looking to improve recovery systems in classroom rocketry. Unlike standard plastic parachutes, this version is crafted from high-quality ripstop nylon, offering durability and long-term value for schools and youth programs.

Built to Last

Ripstop nylon features a reinforced weave that prevents small tears from spreading. This means students can fly their rockets again and again without worrying about replacing parachutes after only a few launches. The rugged design makes it a practical solution for repeated educational use.

Safe and Heat-Resistant

Classroom launches often push recovery systems to the limit. The 18" Rip Stop Parachute is designed to resist heat damage from ejection charges, ensuring reliable deployments and safe landings every time. This added layer of protection gives teachers peace of mind during group launch days.

Compact and Classroom-Friendly

At 18 inches in diameter, this parachute is ideally sized for small to medium rockets. Its lightweight and compact design allows it to fit into tight airframes without affecting flight performance. Students will appreciate the easy packing and consistent results, making it an effective teaching tool for rocketry lessons.

Reusable for Ongoing Learning

Investing in the Estes 18" Rip Stop Parachute means having a recovery system you can rely on for multiple launches. This makes it an economical and educationally sound choice for teachers, troop leaders, and camp directors who want to maximize hands-on learning opportunities.

Rip stop cute

The only thing I would suggest is to attach the shroud lines the way the plastic cutes are attached with line in the middle attached across from its self instead of next to its self. Now I might be missing something here but it seems to attach to the swivel eye better and the shroud lines seem not to cross up.
