Parachute, Pocket G-12 Cargo

The Strong Enterprises Pocket G-12 Cargo Parachute was designed as a replacement for the conventional G-12 (NSN-1670-00-893-2371) now in use today. The advantages of the Pocket G-12 are reduced weight (39 lbs vs. 125 lbs) and much reduced pack volume (2,430 cu in vs. 10,912 cu in), all while delivering virtually identical performance. This weight and size savings translates to higher cargo weights saving time and resources.

The Strong Enterprises Pocket G-12 Cargo was designed originally for use as a recovery parachute for the SCREAMER Precision Cargo Delivery System. After many months of development work on the SCREAMER using the conventional GFE G-12s, Strong Enterprises found considerable weight could be saved with a newer modern designed parachute. The reduced weight and volume of the Pocket G-12 allow for much easier assembly and rigging, and can even be packed by one person.

Other features of the Pocket G-12 include block construction, saving time in panel replacements, and Larks Head Knot attachment for the lines at the skirt, saving hours in line replacement repairs.
