MC-5 RAM AIR PARACHUTE SYSTEM
The MC-5 Ram Air Parachute Assembly (NSN 1670-01-367-0304) combines the operationally proven features of the popular Para-Flite MT-1XX (Interim Ram Air Parachute System, NSN 1670-01-212-3335), the MC-4 Ram Air Free-Fall Personnel Parachute System (NSN 1670-01-306-2100) and the MT-1 series freefall/static line convertible systems. In conjunction with the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy, Para-Flite adapted the double deployment bag/sleeve concept to ram air parachutes, and made static line operations from high altitudes and military transport aircraft possible. By modifying the MT1-XX design, a Static Line/Freefall Convertible Parachute Assembly was produced and thoroughly tested by the U.S.

Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA. The system was type-classified bythe U.S. Marine Corps as the MC-5 Ram Air Parachute Assembly, and later, adopted by the U.S. Navy Special Warfare Command as the MT-2 XX S/L Ram Air Parachute Assembly. The upgraded, reinforced, spanwise constructed 7-cell, 370 sq. ft. MT-1X canopy is used as both a main and reserve. These identical, interchangeable canopies reduce the logistics of maintaining separate main and reserve canopies, and reduce the cost and complexity of training, maintenance and operational use of a different size/configuration reserve canopy.
