About

About Iris Ultra Parachutes

Iris Ultra is a Fruity Chutes family of recovery parachutes and deployment hardware for drones, UAVs, rockets and other aerospace systems. The catalogue separates Iris Ultra Standard, Compact and Ultralight parachutes from deployment bags, CO2 ejection systems, harnesses, shock cords and other recovery accessories.

The parachute sits in the aircraft or payload recovery layer: it is packed into the vehicle, triggered by the selected deployment system and used to reduce descent risk after an emergency or planned recovery event. The product family provides the integration layer, while canopy size, load, deployment envelope and certification vary by selected variant.
