In November 2003, CEVAP issued the final test
report, concluding with the satisfactory completion of
all ETSO-C23d certification requirements, stating that
“The reserve canopy PN 317523-1 (Part Number for
the ICARUS Reserve ) has a good flight behavior,
particularly during the landing phase”.
In October 2005, with the completion of the
certification process, the EASA (European Aviation
Safety Agency) issued the ETSO certificate for the
ICARUS Reserve .
In January 2006, the FAA issued TSO approval for the ICARUS Reserve .
In July 2006, ICARUS Canopies began delivering ICARUS Reserve canopies to the market.
In February 2010, ICARUS Canopies began the process of developing a new weaving technique
that would allow the use of 30 denier fabric, therefore falling under the same TSO as its
predecessor, and still the same resistance and reliability of the ICARUS Reserve while
significantly lower volume .
In February of 2012 ICARUS concluded the search as a result of finding the manner in which to
weave 30 denier fabric that packs 30% significantly smaller than the previous ICARUS
Reserve.
In September 2013, ICARUS Canopies releases the ICARUS NANO RESERVE.
10.2. Product Specifications
The ICARUS NANO Reserve is a 7-cell canopy
made of low porosity fabric and Spectra lines for
reduced pack volume. Sizes are available from 99
to 253 sq. ft (no custom sizes). The ICARUS
NANO Reserve is only available in WHITE.
The ICARUS NANO Reserve is designed and
constructed as a low aspect ratio, 7-cell parachute
with a square planform for stability during opening,
flight and landing, exhibiting predictable behavior
throughout its entire flight.
The ICARUS NANO Reserve exceeds the
requirements of the Aerospace Standard AS8015B,
the FAA TSO-C23d and the EASA ETSO-C23d. The
rugged construction uses additional reinforcement chordwise, spanwise, throughout the nose,
and at all line attachment points.
