Betty Pfeiffer and the High Energy team have designed an emergency parachute that has achieved a very low rate of descent, due not only to the drag generated by the reserve but also to the lift created by this revoutionary round aerofoil shape. This added lift is angled in such a way that the inflated parachute is trying to fly away from itself.

The LARA Reserve is an economical Low Aspect Ratio Annular emergency parachute, made with high quality materials.

Designed by Vertigo Inc. and fabricated in the USA by Free Flight Enterprises the LARA reserve Parachutes manufactured with the highest standard of quality.

All LARA models were have been drop tested with payloads 25% above nominal weight, at 90 knots. No canopies were damaged. These tests also verified the exceptional descent rate performance.

The LARA Gold Reserve is a low volume emergency parachute with a Low Aspect Ratio Annular design. Created by Vertigo Inc. and fabricated in the USA by Free Flight Enterprises, the LARA reserve Parachutes are manufactured with the highest standard of quality.

The LARA GOLD model utilizes a Kevlar bridle and Spectra lines to reduce weight and pack volume.  The name “Gold” was chosen because the use of these materials increases the cost rather significantly.
