// TAPA X-ALPS

2 DESCRIPTION 

 

The skywalk TAPA X-ALPS is characterized by high reliability and strength, fast 
opening time with low sink rate, high pendulum stability, ultralight weight and 
minimal packing volume. Its symmetrical design reduces drift to a minimum, 
directional flight is not specified. 
 
The TAPA X-ALPS reserve chutes are cross-cap centerline reserve chutes with 
retracted apex and divided panels. Optimized layout and differentiated air perme-
ability due to special processing and material mix result in a reserve chute of the 
most modern design. The lightweight materials used require a certain amount of 
care in handling. With careful handling, the rescue chute will still be in top condi-
tion after many years.
