Everyone needs an Angel… Representing the latest in lightweight square parachute design technology, the
Angel SQ is a parachute you can rely on.
Modern square rescue parachute designs have proven time and again to offer significantly better pendulum
stability and sink rate performance than traditional round parachutes, whilst retaining the fast opening times
that are critical for safety.
The Angel SQ has a relatively large surface area, yet is very light in weight, giving exceptional sink rate and
stability performance with fast opening times. The large surface area ensures an excellent sink rate, all sizes of
the Angel SQ provide plenty of margin within the weight ranges they are certified to carry. In terms of parachute
performance however, pendulum stability is equally, if not more important than sink rate performance alone
and the Angel SQ excels in this department. During the development process, which included many real life
test deployments, the Angel SQ’s low sink rate and high pendulum stability combined for consistent, safe and
comfortable descents.
The Angel SQ uses premium quality parachute materials, Porcher PN9 and Cousin Dyneema lines. These
materials have been chosen for their optimum balance of durability, performance, minimal packing volumes and
low weight to ensure reliable, safe deployments, even in the most extreme situations.
Certified EN and LTF to the EN 12491 and LTF 91/09 standards, the Angel SQ is available in 4 sizes with
maximum loads from 100kgs to 220kgs. There are 2 bridle options: The short bridle version for harnesses with
integrated bridles and the Y bridle version for harnesses with no built in bridles.
The Angel SQ has been solely designed for use as an emergency rescue system for paragliders. Do not under
any circumstances use this parachute for free fall parachuting, BASE jumping or with any other type of aircraft.
The Angel SQ is not suitable for speeds in excess of 32m/s or 115 kmh.
Everyone at Ozone continues to be driven by our passion for flying, our love of adventure and our quest to see
Ozone’s paraglider development create better, safer and more versatile paragliders.
The design team consists of David Dagault, Luc Armant, Fred Pieri, Russell Ogden and Honorin Hamard.
Dav has a wealth of experience in competition flying, XC, XAlps and paraglider design. Luc, a dedicated XC
and competition addict has a background in naval architecture. Fred, our resident geek is a mathematian,
mechanical engineer and vol biv specialist. Russ is a competition pilot and test pilot with 1000s of hours testing
experience. Honorin has been flying since he was 13 years old, a naturally talented pilot with multiple world
records and a world championship tiltle to his name already. Between them, they bring a wealth of knowledge,
ideas and experience and work closely together in the design and testing process.
Mike Cavanagh is the boss and multiple winner of the UK XC league. When he’s not out flying he generally
keeps control of the mayhem. Promotion and team pilots are organised by BASE jumping legend and mini wing
specialist Matt Gerdes. He works closely with graphic designer Loren Cox. Loren is a keen pilot from Salt Lake
city, USA.
Back in the office Karine Marconi, Chloe Vila and Isabelle Martinez run the show. These wonderful ladies look
after the ordering system, the dealers, the design team and the general day to day running of the company -
without them it would be chaos.
Our manufacturing facility in Vietnam is headed up by Dr Dave Pilkington who works relentlessly manufacturing
gliders and producing prototypes as well as researching materials and manufacturing processes for our future
products. He is backed up by a superb team managed by Khanh and Phong with over 700 production staff.
