NATIONAL EMERGENCY PARACHUTES were developed with the pilot in mind. Our high quality parachutes don't require unnecessary hardware or pack stiffening plates to maintain their shape. Efficient engineering went into all models right from the start. They feel and work great and will continue to for years.
PILOT CHUTE PERFORMANCE IS CRITICAL TO PARACHUTE PERFORMANCE. National's 357 Magnum is Incorporated in all Chair, Seat and Back parachutes. The unique 357 Magnum provides rapid inflation and high drag, even at low air speeds.
