Differences in Design

T-10 Parachute. Right T11 Parachute.*
Both
of these parachutes succeed in lowering
the user down onto the Earth as safely as they
can, depending on their design. From the
beginning of airborne deployments and the
improvements throughout the years, the
dependability of these parachutes have improved
tremendously.
Taking a look at the T-10, the design of the
parachute is mainly spherical and primarily
designed to lower its user to the ground.
Compared to the newest series, the T-10 is not
as developed and complex. All the way up to the
T-10 series, its purpose is to take its soldier
and deploy them into the battlefield as fast as
they could without injuring them. However, with
the T-11 Series, they are designed to be more
user-friendly, maneuverable, and safer to use.
The T-11 series is more boxed shaped with air
vents on each corner. From its design the user
can maneuver faster and be able to land at a
reasonable speed.
When the user deems it necessary to maneuver,
they will simply pull one of the four straps in
the direction they want to move. With the T-10
parachute, it is quite difficult to maneuver due
to its inflated shape. However, with the T-11
parachute the inflated shape allows the maneuver
to be responsive and quick, allowing the user to
be precise while they are landing.
