U.S. Special Forces have access to a new model of a parachute. According to the specialized publication Army Times, this will allow for a parachute jump from a height of about 7.3 thousand meters, to carry loads up to 204 kg and go to the target, located approximately 47 kilometers from dropping paratroopers. At a certain preparation and you can jump from a height of 10.6 thousand meters. According to published data, the novelty was designated RA-1.

Because the parachute system allows to carry loads up to two quintals, soldiers can make the leap into full combat gear, including body armor. According to Americans, their new parachute on his main parachute TTX significantly exceeds the previous model, which bore the designation MC-4, giving him no way in reliability. According to ITAR-TASS, in a new model of American troops parachute would have to enroll as early as Q3 2014. It is expected that they will be equipped with only small units of U.S. special forces. For mass parachute airdrop RA-1, which has an enviable maneuverability is not intended as agility leads to the possibility of collision paratroopers in the air.

Unlike most conventional parachutes, RA-1 is equipped with a seat - it is to have in-flight commando not numb feet, and on landing he was ready to fight. According to the articles appeared, the U.S. Army will equip their paratroopers additional equipment: insulated uniforms, oxygen masks, which are designed to last longer flight, and improved navigation system. Formally submitted to the Americans, the parachute system called Military Free Fall Advanced Ram-Air Parachute System (military system improved paraglider jump in free fall).

As you might guess, the U.S. made a parachute-type "wing". So, if a parachute in the form of a dome can only fly down into the shape of a dome with slits - down and forward, the wing does not fly forward can not. Such parachutes create a lifting force only because they move with some horizontal velocity. It is due to flight speed can not create a significant difference in pressure on the upper and lower wing shell. This allows the wing of a much smaller area than standard round parachute to create a similar lift. Wing shape is maintained by the rate of decline. Horizontal such parachutes can fly at speeds of 32 km / h and descend at a speed of 0-6 km / h

Control unit is carried out using two control lines, like a dome. Pulling the left sling, then turns to the right wing, and vice versa. If trooper pulls right behind both lines, there is a reduction of horizontal flight speed. If the pull straps is strong enough, then the rate is reduced to such an extent that almost the wing lift force to create a longer and simultaneously begins to lose its shape. This will make him "leave" with a lifting force that would create the effect of stalling - just wing dives down sharply. Also the wing there is another feature. Before you go to a parachute, "stall", its speed, both vertical and horizontal, in a very short period of time will be reduced to almost 0 km / h If the trooper let the control lines, then after a while the wing recover its original shape, it can continue its mission with characteristic speed parachute.

The closest Russian equivalent of the new American parachute parachute system is the famous "Crossbow." Unfortunately, there is no publicly available information about the maximum range for what could fly on a Russian paratrooper parachute system "Crossbow-2." The system "Crossbow-2" provides a safe committing hops flight mass paratrooper with all special equipment up to 150 kg. The parachute may be used at temperatures ranging from -35 to +35 degrees Celsius for the speed of the aircraft at the moment of landing of up to 350 km / h This parachute system passed the whole cycle of state tests in flight test center and the Russian Defense Ministry is currently in operation.

Until mid-2015 the Russian paratroopers should get 400 parachute systems "Crossbow-2." This system is designed to parachute airdrop special purpose groups, professionals and paratroopers parachute rescue with a full range of necessary equipment and weapons, as well as the fulfillment of training jumps from aircraft type IL-76, AN-12, AN-26 and AN- 2, as well as Mi-8, which have the necessary equipment for landing troops.

Dua negara ini tak habis-habisnya bersaing dalam segala bentuk pengetrapan technology, baik untuk militer, dan kemanusiaan.
Yang satu me-ungguli yang lain dan itulah dunia, dan yang paling "perfect" adalah produkNya.
