Snap, turn, whipping around and rippin’ it on the pond in ways you never considered trying – Petra is like a bike pump for your balls.

She emerged from NZ Aerosports’ Summer of Love R&D Project. With founder Paul ‘Jyro’ Martyn’s design expertise and Aerodynamics engineer Julien Peelman’s knowledge of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), computer modeling of airflow was used to analyze and predict the performance of a canopy’s shape.

Petra stood out from the previous prototypes. She was the result of over 30 years of the Icarus design experience at NZ Aerosports and Julien’s fresh input.

She is completely different to any other canopy currently on the market, built from the ground up with entirely new panel shaping and trim. She’s the sexiest canopy around – and she can swoop-for-fucken-miles!

FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

What can I expect when I fly Petra for the first time?
Like a confident, strong woman, Petra takes a little getting to know. But once you do you’ll never look back. Her harness sensitivity feels a bit unnerving at first – but it’s all in the hips baby!

When you open, pick a point as a reference, widen your chest strap and slowly remove the panties RDS. Once off, take your time putting it away, and keep thinking about those hips! Once the brakes are off you might feel like you’re back in freefall. This is a seriously fast parachute. Everything will feel overly reactive. Harness, toggles, fronts and rears require subtle inputs until you get to know her a little better.

If you don’t treat her right, she WILL bite!

Who is Petra for?
Petra is a full sail competition specific swoop canopy. She isn’t designed for everyday jumping, or the everyday jumper, but for the experienced competitive canopy pilot who has thousands of jumps on small highly loaded crossbraced canopies.

To order a Petra you MUST have:

• 700+ jumps on a 2.2wl or above
• 250+ jumps in the last 12 months
• A reference from a respected coach/swooper or Petra/Peregrine pilot
• Have competed at least once in the last 12 months (or competed 3 or more times in Open in the last 3 years)

If you fall narrowly outside these minimums but have something else to take into consideration (i.e. high percentage of swoop specific coached jumps or lots of competition experience but not within the last year) let us know

Am I ready for Petra?
Do you have a good coach? Does your coach say you are ready? Do you meet the requirements above? Petra is a professional tool for pilots who fly for food. If you don’t have a coach to ask if you’re ready, then you’re not ready. This wing is a custom, special order item with options not found anywhere else in the industry.

Openings
Petra opening are firm but not hard. She is totally fine to be taken terminal. Her terminal openings can be described as brisk, but totally doable.

Toggles
Highly sensitive, especially at higher wing loadings.

Stall Point
Warning: High speed stalls are very possible if inputs are too abrupt.

Rears
Range, range and more range. Very responsive and powerful. We promise, you’ll love them.

Fronts
Very light, easy to manipulate even from full drive.

Performance
This is the most high performance wing you can buy – so much so that we coined a new phrase with Petra – the hyper-performance wing.

The Dive
Very long and steep. She hisses.

Recovery
Long recovery – requires pilot input for level flight.

Flare
Very powerful and responsive.

Introducing the JYRO Helium – the wing for jumpers who want it all: big canopy vibes without the bulk. True to its name, the Helium is lighter than air, built with our ultralight L-ZP fabric that packs small but flies big.

The Helium’s 20D silicone coated ZP low-bulk fabric packs up a full size smaller without sacrificing durability, unlike other uncoated F1-11 low-bulk fabrics that wear out quickly. It’s engineered to handle sandy, dirty, fun-as-f%#k landing areas and sets a new benchmark for low-bulk canopies on the market.

Whether you’re a heavier skydiver looking for a big canopy that fits into a smaller rig, or a smaller jumper wanting the stability of a larger wing without the bulk, Helium is your perfect match. And for those starting their skydiving journey, Helium provides the option of a forgiving, larger canopy that fits into a compact rig – offering comfort and performance right from the beginning.

Who should fly this wing?
The JYRO Helium is perfect for jumpers who want the benefits of a larger canopy without the bulk. Whether you’re a bigger pilot looking for a compact rig setup or a smaller jumper who wants more forgiving performance, Helium fits the bill. Skydivers starting their journey will love it for the smooth, easy ride, while progressing flyers can appreciate the reliability, safety, and intuitive handling. Wingload it between 0.8 and 1.4 for the sweet spot, but as always, hit us up if you’re unsure.

Toggles
Helium’s toggle response is progressive and forgiving. This ensures precise, easy handling for all skill levels without overwhelming newer pilots.

Harness
Harness inputs are smooth and intuitive, giving you just the right amount of control when weight-shifting. The Helium responds beautifully to subtle inputs, making it feel effortless and balanced in flight.

Front Riser Flight
The Helium’s moderate front riser pressure makes diving into turns or adjusting your glide simple and manageable. It’s forgiving for new pilots while offering a touch of performance for those looking to explore more dynamic flying.

Rear Riser Flight
The Helium boasts one of the best glides in its class, making it easy to handle long spots or glide back from adventurous jump runs. Its rear riser performance is intuitive and reliable, giving you the confidence to get where you need to go. Small inputs go a long way, making them easy to use even for those on lighter wingloadings.

Performance
The Helium is designed with safety and reliability at the forefront. The smooth openings, forgiving inputs, and stable flight characteristics ensure a stress-free experience for beginners while giving intermediate jumpers the confidence to push their skills further. It’s built for predictable, controlled landings with a deep, strong flare that makes every touchdown feel effortless.

Recovery and Flare
The Helium’s quick recovery arc ensures the canopy stays stable and forgiving, even in tighter situations. The powerful, deep flare is designed to inspire confidence, whether you’re perfecting your landings or working on new techniques. With Helium, you’ll feel in control every step of the way, from your first jump to your next big adventure.

Life is like a plane full of new students: sweaty and unpredictable!  Well that’s not wholly true. Student canopy pilots make some very predictable mistakes, namely flare timing and improper body position on deployment.

Not only is the Navigator incredibly forgiving of these errors, it’s incredibly durable, and offers unparalleled performance, providing a dependable platform for progressive student canopy training. And while we can’t guarantee antiperspirant results, it’s docile enough there’s no reason to sweat the canopy flight.

The Navigator…strong enough for a Jetman, but made for a student.

The Hybrid Valkyrie – everything you love about the Valkyrie but more. We incorporated sail fabric into the ribs to give her more power, more responsiveness, and longer swoops than a standard construction Valkyrie.

Think of her as a “Valkyrie on steroids” with more sensitivity in the harness and more stopping power than ever before. The sail ribs are a great addition for either a seasoned or first time Valkyrie owner.

When choosing between the All ZP and Hybrid Valkyrie, keep in mind that the sail ribs will increase pack volume by about a half size in comparison to the All ZP Valkyrie. The overall lifespan of the canopy is similar to that of an all-ZP wing.
