As opposed to the conventional F-111 canopies the Silhouette excels with its better agility and ease of operation. Through its blended fabric construction (top skin zero-porosity-fabric / bottom skin F-111) it is easy to pack and has a longer life span than a pure F-111 parachute.

The openings are soft and on heading, as one can expect from a modern canopy. The glide ratio is excellent. On steering inputs it reacts with quick and controlled turns, which can be stopped easily and uncomplicated. Canopy size and jumper weight should fit together, then you get a docile canopy with outstanding landing characteristics and a good performance.
