DETAILS
A-chord Line Mini-Vents

A-CHORD LINE MINI-VENTS ALLOW FORWARD A-LINE ATTACHMENT POINTS

The OUTLAW's leading edge design was chosen for its balance of inflation speed and efficiency. By extending the top surface more into the leading edge, Squirrel increased the OUTLAW’s efficiency and performance at trim speed and deep brakes. They also extended the bottom surface into the leading edge in order to place the A-line attachment points as far forward as possible, to increase pitch stability. This would otherwise reduce nose opening size, so in order to maintain excellent nose-inflation during the opening sequence, five mini-vents were added to the A-chord line. This gives us the best of both worlds: a performance nose design, with rapid inflation and high stability. It adds up to increased pitch stability during inflation, canopy flight, and landing.

Rear-Chord Float Flaps

REAR-CHORD FLOAT-FLAPS INCREASE LAMINAR FLOW IN DEEP BRAKES

Inspired by a paraglider design, this key innovation allows low stall speeds and forgiving slow-speed characteristics. The OUTLAW excels in steep approaches using deep brakes. Spanwise tension in the canopy and a 3D-shaped differential cut between the top and bottom surfaces keep the Float-Flaps closed while the canopy is in trim flight, meaning that the OUTLAW's glide performance is not compromised. With brakes applied, profile camber increases progressively and opens the Float-Flaps, allowing some air to escape and add laminar airflow to the top surface of the canopy in the location that stall begins. This airflow stabilizes turbulence over the top surface and provides a smooth transition to deep-brakes for a steep approach with a low sink rate. The OUTLAW's forward speed can be greatly reduced to a stable deep-brakes configuration.

Center Cell Slat

CENTER CELL SLAT MAINTAINS CENTER-SPAN LAMINAR FLOW

First introduced to BASE canopies on the Atair OSP, the slat system helps to increase airflow over the top surface of the canopy. The Float-Flap system provides a more direct feed to the critical area of the top surface while in deep brakes, and the Outlaw's single center cell slat encourages flow at the center span. In combination, the Float-Flaps and Center Cell Slat create the best deep-brake behavior of any BASE canopy.

ZP ellipse at leading edge

ZP ELLIPSE AT LEADING EDGE FOR HEADING AND GLIDE PERFORMANCE, AND LONGEVITY

ZP leading edges increase glide performance, opening performance, and sail longevity. The OUTLAW is the only BASE canopy with an ellipsed ZP leading edge, which positions more ZP where it is needed most, at the center span, and just enough outboard ZP to ensure performance. This design encourages priority center-span inflation for heading performance, and the cleanest most efficient airflow possible at center-span for glide and flare performance. A ZP leading edge is especially important in canopies made from ultra-light / low-bulk material, which degrades faster than traditional 0-3cfm cloth. Porosity at the leading edge is a crucial factor for glide and flare performance. Ultra-light cloth is too porous for use at the leading edge of a BASE canopy (or any main parachute, in our opinion).

Staggered upper brake cascade

STAGGERED UPPER BRAKE CASCADE REDUCES TENSION KNOT PROBABILITY

The OUTLAW's unique upper brake cascade is constructed without loop to loop junctions. Finger-trapped lines allow a more consistent flex and prevent the acute-angle "kinks" that can lead to tension knots in the brake cascade. The benefits of the OUTLAW's smooth brake fan are apparent when stowing the lines – the brake line junction curves more smoothly in concert with the rest of your lines, reducing the chances of tension knots. A positive side effect of this design feature is a reduced spacing between upper brake lines, reducing the potential severity of line-over malfunctions. Always use a tailgate, slider-gate, or tail-restricting device in conjunction with packing methods that properly stage tail expansion. Redundancy is the key to reliability.

Advanced profile and leading edge

ADVANCED PROFILE AND LEADING EDGE

The OUTLAW's profile is based on more than a decade of paraglider research and development combined with the BASE experience of the Squirrel team. Our testing has shown that even in the thicker profiles that we use for low aspect ratio BASE canopies, small improvements lead to significant performance differences during all aspects of flight. The OUTLAW profile was chosen for its consistently pitch-stable behavior, dependable glide performance, and excellent slow-speed characteristics.

Varied Crossports

VARIED CROSSPORTS ENHANCE INFLATION CHARACTERISTICS

The OUTLAW features a varied crossport design to maximise spanwise airflow while retaining structural longevity. Unloaded and loaded rib crossports were designed using a load-calculation algorithm. Unloaded ribs feature larger crossport size overall, while loaded rib crossports are concentrated in the ideal locations for load and top-surface cleanliness. This optimization means that The OUTLAW benefits from unsurpassed air circulation inside the canopy, leading to progressive and homogenous openings with a compact and coordinated feel in flight and during flare.

PROFILE SCHEMATIC
  • Cross Ports
  • Rear-chord Float-Flaps increase laminar flow in deep brakes and reduce stall speed
    (Float-flaps located between ribs on top surface)
  • ZP Ellipse at leading edge positions more ZP where it's needed most, at center span
  • Crossports are designed to yield max airflow while retaining rib structure and longevity
  • 5 Standard B-chord vents ensure rapid inflation
  • Center-cell slat system increases laminar flow at center span
    (slat located between ribs on top surface)
  • Leading edge mini-vents increase nose-feed during inflation and allow forward A-line attachment points
  • Max crossport ventilation at trailing edge creates a homogenous and compact feel during flare
  • High-camber, high-lift profile, based on more than a decade of profile R&D
  • High performance leading edge increases glide performance and reduces stall speed
  • Max crossport ventilation across the chord, for progressive and even inflation
