G-12 parachute

The G-12 parachute is a rectangular, military-style parachute designed for personnel and cargo drops. Developed in the 1950s by the U.S. Army, it features a high drag design that allows for a slower descent, enhancing safety and precision during landings. The G-12 can carry loads of up to 1,200 pounds, making it versatile for various missions, including troop deployments and equipment transport. Its reliability and ease of use have made it a staple in military parachuting operations, supporting airborne forces and logistical needs effectively.
