static line parachute

A static line parachute is a type of parachute system where a cord is attached to the aircraft. When a jumper exits the plane, this cord automatically pulls the parachute open at a predetermined altitude. This method is commonly used in military operations and skydiving, as it ensures the parachute deploys at a safe height without requiring the jumper to pull a release cord manually. It provides reliable deployment, allowing jumpers to focus on their landing rather than the deployment process, making it a popular choice for high-volume jumps.
