Low Cost Low Velocity Parachutes

The (LCLV) Low Cost Low Velocity Cargo Parachute offers a cost-effective, single-use solution. It serves as a practical alternative to the G12 parachute, particularly when recovery is unfeasible. In 2012, the Low Velocity Parachute played a pivotal role in supporting over 30,000 US Troops in Afghanistan, solely relying on aerial deliveries. This parachute stands as a vital component of the LCADS Family, which stands for Low Cost Aerial Delivery Systems, ensuring efficiency and unwavering dependability in every drop.
