Fortis Main Canopy

A 9‑cell beginner main canopy with predictable openings, forgiving handling, and stable flight — ideal for training programs and new canopy pilots.

The Fortis Main Canopy is a 9‑cell beginner‑friendly canopy designed to support students and novice canopy pilots with stable, forgiving behavior from deployment through landing. Fortis is engineered to help new jumpers build confidence by accommodating common early‑stage challenges such as imperfect body position and flare timing. Its durable construction stands up to frequent use in training programs and rental fleets, while its predictable flight characteristics make progression smoother and more intuitive.
Fortis delivers soft yet consistent openings, managed forward speed, and a generous flare window that helps reduce hard landings. The canopy’s inherently stable flight profile and balanced control response support skill development, enabling students to focus on traffic awareness, approach planning, and landing execution rather than managing unpredictable behavior in the air.
Whether used in AFF, static‑line training, or as a student transition canopy, Fortis provides a reliable platform that helps pilots develop core canopy skills with confidence.
