Drogue chute (pilot chute) for tow rope

The drogue chute, also called the pilot chute, is designed to work with tow ropes used for towing gliders. Its job is to brake the rope after the glider releases it, which limits the rope's fall to the ground and makes it easier to retrieve safely and prepare for the next tow.

Thanks to its light yet durable construction, the chute opens quickly after release and brakes the rope effectively. The materials used offer high resistance to tearing, UV radiation and changing weather conditions, ensuring a long service life.
