I expect it is pretty close to those 28' round canopies some of you were sitting on and was attached to a Martin Baker. The old Para Commander (PC), which was a big improvement over the 28' and 24' round canopies, had a rate of 14-16 fps. So 25 fps is not too bad, especially when considering that the landing gear and seats etc will absorb a lot of energy. Matt McManus > > 25 feet per second is 1500 fpm. >
