Atair Aerodynamics

Since the advent of free flying, skydivers have been exceeding the design limits of their canopies. Canopy deployment methods were designed decades ago when RW flying was the norm. Main canopies are designed for maximum deployment speeds of 120 knots and below. Most Free flyers do not take adequate time to decelerate and are deploying at speeds above max allowable. Premature deployment is always a risk; at free fall jump speeds with conventional canopies you risk the serious possibility of severe injury or death.

The Atair COBALT is the first canopy addressing the needs of free flyers, with high speed deployments.

Atair's development of the "2 stage deployment" (patent pending) was created out of necessity in our progressing sport. With 2 stage openings, Atair canopies deliver lower opening forces to your body allowing higher speed deployments.

Atair Aerodynamics, founded in 1992, produces over 2000 reserve and main canopies per year. Building on a strong background in paraglider design, Atair is bringing forth New Technological Advances in Skydiving and Base canopies.
