The Hungarian Defence Forces Facing the Inauguration Process of a New Type of Personnel Airborne Troop Parachute, Part III.

Comparison of the Possible ‘Pretenders’ from the Point of View of Future Appliers: the Examination of the Reserve Parachute

Abstract

The objective of my serial study is to highlight the necessity of introduction of a new personnel airborne troop parachute system in the Hungarian Defence Forces (HDF) and to make a proposal for the process of the procurement. In the first part of my study I introduced the widely used modern conventional personnel airborne troop parachute systems, the short development stories of them. I observed the technical data and characteristics of the possible types of the main parachute in the second part of my study according to the so called ‘Classical Triple’ method. In the third part of my study I examine – also using the above mentioned method – the imagined types of reserve parachute.
