Gryphon parachute system for military

The Gryphon is a glider parachute system that paragliders will die for.

A new parachute system called known as Gryphon has been developed by Germany based ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH and Dräger. This is specifically targeted for military use. From a plane, the parachutists can be dropped near the landing zone, almost 40 kms away. The parachutist can then glide silently towards the landing zone, unnoticeably and thus can be saved from the eyes of any radar on the ground.

The Gryphon system equipment is so strong that the parachute can carry almost 100 kg of equipment together with him. The companies are planning to include a jet for better take offs and landings. The Gryphon can also be considered as a personal flight system, if the facilities to go straight up in the air is not easy to get.

The addition of new jumbo turbo jets are considered to be the next step in moving Gryphon parachute models forward. The companies have already started working on that and one can expect the times when we can stretch our wings and go gliding through the skies are not far.
