MT-1Z PARACHUTE
Even though the glide performance of the MT-1Z is significantly greater than existing parachutes in service, this was not obtained through an increase in aspect ratio, which could have further improved glide performance but at the expense of handling docility and accuracy capabilities.
The use of zero porosity fabric on the top surface has permitted a greater load carrying capability without increasing the size and bulk of the canopy. In the instance of the 370 ft2 version, a 25 percent increase in the load carrying capacity has been attained over the systems presently in service.

The MT-1Z canopy can be deployed like existing main parachutes from existing harness/container systems,which results in offset distance capability equal to existing parachutes, but from an altitude that is low enough to eliminate the need to pre-breathe oxygen, or significantly greater offset distance from the same altitude.
The MT-1Z main canopy with its unique static line activated deployment system can be installed in any static line operable harness/container system in service now, thereby extending the offset glide capability by 50% to 70% with minimal expense and little or no additional training of users.
