Innovative auto-rotating parachute system
for low-cost payload delivery

Atair's Heli-Chutes are innovative auto-rotating parachutes designed for low-cost military and humanitarian airdrop, UAV recovery applications, and sensor emplacement for triple-canopy jungle applications.

The fully reusable Heli-Chutes pack up to 4 times smaller than conventional round parachutes of equal vertical descent rate, are economical due to using less fabric and labor in construction, and are inherently gyro-stabilized.

Heli-Chutes' innovative spinning wings have a stabilizing effect that eliminates the pendulum effect common in cargo airdrops using conventional round parachutes. Spin stabilization prevents the payload from landing on its side and is particularly valuable when delivering fragile equipment or medicines.

Heli-Chutes are currently available in two standard sizes:

Custom Applications

Heli-Chutes can be modified to meet different size payload requirements, deployment speeds, and descent rates. Please contact Atair to discuss your specific application requirements.
