Fly the X Fire and you will discover why from opening all the way to the shutdown, this wing is a class of it’s own. 

Carefully designed to excel in all areas important to you- the pilot: openings, harness input, swooping, and packing while remaining your ultimate “everyday canopy.”

Fly the X Fire and you will discover why from opening all the way to the shutdown, this wing is a class of it’s own. 

Carefully designed to excel in all areas important to you- the pilot: openings, harness input, swooping, and packing while remaining your ultimate “everyday canopy.”

The X Fire openings are smooth and consistent as ever. Through the application of our Shape Correlation for Inlet Distribution (SCID) recently debuted in the S-Fire and the TX2, the result are fluid on-heading openings.

At terminal speeds the X Fire takes between 800-900 feet to give you that perfect opening every single time. And the best part? It doesn’t need to be packed with meticulous skill! This wing wants to give you soft on-heading openings effortlessly.

The X Fire has adopted the Schuemann Planform (elliptical on the leading edge and less so on the trailing edge) that allows for great lift and reactivity, which is why this planform has been used in paragliders, speed wings and other high performance wings. When this planform is adopted the stall speed is lowered; therefore you can swoop further than with other canopies.

This is also why the X Fire has a minimum requirement of 400 total jumps and 200 jumps annually. Currency is mandatory. However, at this level of reactivity and performance 800 jumps is what we believe to be the benchmark to really experience the caliber of performance the X Fire can offer.

The X Fire is above and beyond the competition when it comes to harness inputs, so flying with leg pad input alone is done with ease. The recovery arc remains shorter than traditional cross braced canopies- which is exactly why this is the ULTIMATE GATEWAY CANOPY.

The reactivity of the X Fire translates to awesome front riser pressure, and dramatically easy rear riser control. It takes little effort to land on your rears and experience a powerful flare. Toggle control is great as the X Fire has a much stronger low end flare, which results in the ability to shut it down on no wind days even in a tight landing area.

Now let’s talk innovation: SCID gives the openings but the performance of the X Fire demanded elevated Parabolic Reinforcement Tapes (PRT). A full parabola of reinforcement is visible on load bearing ribs, a great deal more than the S-Fire or TX2.

A canopy like the X Fire needs absolutely no drag from distortion of the top skin, so even though it is more time consuming in the production line, the end product is worth it, and when you swoop the X Fire you will understand.

This isn’t your average elliptical 9 cell. Fly the X Fire and you will see why from opening all the way to the shutdown, this wing is a game changer.

We are proud to introduce our new tandem canopy – The TX2!

Dropzone owners and tandem instructors are agreeing that the TX2 is the best possible tool for any tandem operation. Years of testing and innovation have been assembled in this completely new TX2 design that will be the top choice for instructors, riggers, DZOs, packers and passengers alike.

The launch of the S-Fire a few months earlier introduced the world to innovative design features such as Parabolic Reinforcement Tapes (PRT), 2ⁿᵈ generation of Enhanced Ram Air Stabilizers (ERAS²), and Shape Correlation for Inlet Distribution (SCID). ICARUS has integrated these elements of using the elasticity of the fabric to its’ advantage which in turn eliminates upper surface distortion and airfoil deformation, and eradicating panel flutter while simultaneously reducing the wing tip vortices are just the beginning.

Consistently soft on-heading openings are a feature that was at the forefront when designing this wing. SCID has made each TX2 naturally inflate from the center cell outward, which results in consistent on-heading openings and no need to compensate with stretchable lines. This is a key for instructors and passengers to enjoy their experience and be able to jump numerous times day after day, year after year. Icarus World realize the importance of a comfortable reliable opening sequence every time.

The TX2 is incredibly reactive to control input and gives more feedback through turns while allowing the pilot to feel a stronger connection to the wing. There is light control line pressure, so this allows for a preferred experience by passengers as well as instructors.

The Reduced Drogue Loading System is one of the highlights of this system. It is an intelligent design to carry the loads generated by the drogue, while bypassing the canopy structure itself. Two lines routed through the canopy actually transfer the load directly to the central suspension lines, which avoids stressing the canopy fabric during deployment. Less stress on the wing and less reinforcement of the drogue attachment point results in more durability and decreased canopy weight and bulk!

The TX2 was created through a 3D planform design, and doesn’t fall short with regards to impressive glide and a short recovery arc. Both the crossport reinforcements and the change in the line set configuration due to the ERAS² actively extend the life of the wing as well. The TX2 is available in the standard 6&2 Brake Configuration without a brake setting, which eases the packing process.

The TX2 is clearly the reliable, durable and superior choice for your operation.

The EQUINOX Canopy, recognizing the learning issues canopy students face when they start their journey from AFF to their first canopy, ICARUS Canopies has developed the EQUINOX specifically to allow a safer canopy piloting learning process. With a carefully balanced rectangular planform, the EQUINOX provides a soft but consistent short snivel deployment both with spring loaded and hand deployed pilot chutes. Its easy but lively handling at student wing loading airspeeds and high control range provides the student a great learning experience. EQUINOX forgiving flare characteristics complete an ideal learning tool for drop zones and flight schools.
