Troll DW Canopy
The
Troll DW is now the worlds most popular BASE canopy. Fast on heading openings,
crisp handling, good deep brake flight and a
powerful flare make the
Troll an excellent all round BASE canopy perfect for slider up and slider
down jumps. The Troll was created using
specialised computer software
for designing and analysing low speed airfoils and wings. The 3D wing
is transfered into 2D top and bottom
panels and ribs. Using Advanced
Technology AIR foil shaping methods, it is possible to obtain a parachute
wing which has desired airfoil
shape over the whole wing span not only
at the ribs. Although the aspect ratio generally has a much greater effect
on parachute
performance than airfoil design, the Troll's airfoil section
is used to tailor the flight characteristics to suit the intended use.
The Troll is also available with the MDV valve system (Mono Directional
Valve). The valves consist of a tubular shaped funnel attached to
a mesh
inlets on cells 2,3,4,5 & 6. This design allows the air to flow in to
the cells during deployment and also during deep brake descent. The valves
close during normal flight and do not have an effect on glide ratio.
The MDV inlets allow the canopy to inflate and pressurise faster when
jumping slider
down, giving the jumper a controllable canopy quicker
whilst also using less altitude. Troll is constructed using the highest
grade materials available. Each
parachute is hand made to meet finest
quality standards. All materials are fully inspected and traceable.
