The F-16 Drogue Parachute System is a flat, circular, continuous ribbon deceleration system. The system incorporates a deployment bag, bridles, buffer, streamer, pilot parachute, main canopy and riser assembly.
Advantages
Use of the Variable Porosity Continuous Ribbon (VPCR) chute results in significantly reduced wear on the expensive carbon wheel brakes, makes short field landings safer (shorter roll out) and stabilizes the aircraft on icy or wet runways.
Advantages of the PAR-1170-00 system include:
NOTE:U.S. stock numbers are not available for all components of the F-16 Deceleration Parachute System because the deceleration parachute is not utilized in the United States Air Force F-16 Aircraft. This system applies to F-16 Aircraft sold to the Netherlands, Norway, Indonesia, Taiwan, Greece, Turkey, and Venezuela.
