{"title":"Braking Parachutes","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBraking Parachutes for Supercars and Performance Cars\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA braking parachute is a drag chute deployed at the end of a high speed run to slow the car aerodynamically before the wheel brakes take over. On a drag strip or a standing mile it does the work the brakes and tyres cannot do alone at terminal speed, and it keeps the car straight while it slows. Most sanctioning bodies make a parachute mandatory above a defined terminal speed and require a second chute above a higher one, so for anyone running seriously fast in a straight line this is a rulebook item rather than an option. We supply parachutes and deployment hardware for supercars and performance cars and deliver across Dubai and the UAE, to India, and worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat This Collection Covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross form parachutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: the common drag racing canopy shape, in a range of sizes matched to vehicle weight and terminal speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConical and ring slot parachutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: alternative canopy designs used where a different deployment characteristic is wanted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacks and deployment bags\u003c\/strong\u003e: pack assemblies, liners and covers that hold the canopy until it is released.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLaunchers\u003c\/strong\u003e: spring launchers and pilot chute arrangements that pull the canopy clear of the car.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShroud lines, bridles and swivels\u003c\/strong\u003e: line sets, bridle assemblies and swivels that stop the chute twisting under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting brackets and hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e: rear mounted brackets, tabs, shackles and the reinforcement needed to take the load into the chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease levers and cables\u003c\/strong\u003e: in car levers, cable kits and quick releases for deployment and for dropping the chute afterwards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepair and service parts\u003c\/strong\u003e: replacement lines, packs, springs and canopy repair items.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt very high speed the wheel brakes and tyres are working close to their limit and the shutdown area is finite. A parachute adds a large amount of drag at exactly the point where aerodynamic braking is most effective, which shortens the stop and takes heat out of a brake system that is already loaded. It also acts behind the centre of mass, so it helps the car track straight rather than upsetting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe load path is the part people underestimate. Chute loads are high and they arrive suddenly, so the mounting has to be tied into real chassis structure rather than bolted to bodywork, and lines, bridle and swivel all have to be in good condition. Packing matters as much as the hardware, because a badly packed chute either does not open or opens unevenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Choose the Right Braking Parachute\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with the rulebook and the numbers it uses. Sanctioning bodies typically mandate a parachute above a stated terminal speed for the class, and dual chutes above a higher speed, along with requirements for the mounting and the release. Those thresholds differ between sanctioning bodies, between classes and sometimes between venues, so confirm the current rules for the events you enter before you order. Where a specification is quoted for the chute or its mounting, check the current status of that specification rather than relying on an old copy of the rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen size the chute to the car. Canopy size is chosen from vehicle weight and expected terminal speed, and an oversized chute is as much of a problem as an undersized one because of the deceleration it produces and the load it puts through the mounting. Tell us the car, the year and the exact variant, its weight, the speeds you are running and the series you compete in. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/971503085760\"\u003eWhatsApp us on +971 50 308 5760\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/go.supercarstore.ae\/r\/inquiry\"\u003esend us an inquiry\u003c\/a\u003e and we will help you match the canopy, the pack and the mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping and Availability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe deliver parachutes and deployment hardware across Dubai and the UAE, to India, and worldwide.
