SQUARE ROUND (SQR)
The best of both worlds: The unique SQUARE ROUND technology heralds a new generation of reserve parachute, merging the advantages of the classic round canopy and the cross version into an innovative and forward-looking product. Countless computer simulations and practical tests have been an essential part of the extensive development process. The result is a reserve with aerodynamically enhanced pendulum stability, trimmed not to track in flight.
Research & Development
analytical method
All Companion rescue models are based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD*) analysis, which has been verified by a lot of practical testing. At the core of CFD analysis is an iterative system which repeatedly recalculates an analysis of the deformation and strain on the reserve in the air.
This is an important aspect for reserve parachute analysis because their pronounced curvature means they deform a lot. Having our own simulation software and test vehicle means we are able to carry out many numerical CFD analyses, as well as deployment tests. Currently this approach is unique in rescue parachute development.
