The World's Smallest Parachute

3.4㎡ 世界最小パラシュートが目の前にランディング!
Luigi Cani landed with the world's smallest parachute JVX37 (3.4㎡) in front of us at Perris Valley Skydiving USA in 2008.
2014Apr5, Ernesto Gainza with JVX35 (3.25㎡) broke the record.

I think my sliders bigger than that.
I think Otto Lillienthal is very proud of this achievement in flight.
With that small pack volume are we looking at containers with three chutes in the future.
I knew a guy who in the early 60's bought a surplus WW2 nylon (I think) parachute. He talked a friend into taking a door off his Tripacer and up they went to 3,000' above the airport. He bailed out, chute opened, and he did a stand up landing. One of those "been there, done that" things.
i love how he just folds it in half under his arm

wtf?? he's like one of the worlds best skydivers and theres only like 2 or 3 videos of him on KZread? Really??
My guy jumping out of planes with a beach towel 🤣
It didn't seem like a big deal until he got to the ground, then you saw how fast he was really going and realize that he can't land straight down. He has to land horizontally or end up breaking all the bones in his legs.
Did they just add some lines to a napkin? Holy shit that's a tiny canopy
no fire under the shoes LOL. dang !!!
👏👏👏 wonder what the wing loading was?
Awesome
Does this even make fun If i shit my pants at every landing sequence 😅
unbelievable!
It looks more of a hybrid between a parachute and a para-foil glider. Looks like you need some forward speed for soft landing.
wow nice, and i thought my sabre 2 150 was small XD. blue skies
Dude, that chute’s not for a skydiver! It’s for a GI Joe action figure!
Fabuleux 👌👌👌
Wow, this guy is like the human space shuttle.
my pink umbrella ella ella is bigger than that
this looks way bigger than an umbrella
Was it neutral wind?
Would this get you out of a 911 scenario?
Um brasileiro já superou esse recorde. A Brazilian has already surpassed that record.
And I thought the Strato Flyer was small.
WOW 🤩
Holy crap, that is one damn small chute. I wonder how much weight that chute can take?

Pilot chute is bigger than main. Helps that dude is like 100 lbs max
craziness
What is the purpose of the turn before the landing? Does that bring him in at a faster speed than a straight in approach?

SanFranciscoBay It builds airspeed. Airpeed = lift. He uses that lift to flatten out the landing. A straight in would have such a high sink rate the chances of survival would be about the same as running a motorcycle into a wall at 75mph. Or, an elevator falling into the basement.

Slartybarfast B 1. Are you saying that he has to make the turn prior to landing to gain more air speed which is then used for lift to prevent his descent rate too fast? 2. What is the purpose of flying/using such a small canopy? Is it to see how small a canopy can be made and still make safe landings? 3. Could he run the landing in or is he traveling too fast and has to slide his feet to decrease the speed until he can run the landing? I assume there is no stand up landing on a canopy this small?
@slartybarfastb3648

SanFranciscoBay Yes, these canopies produce lift which increases with speed. The best way to increase speed is through a steep dive. Unlike an airplane, we can't simply push the nose over because the skydiver suspended beneath acts as a pendulum which naturally will gravitate under the canopy, thus raising the nose. In a steep turn the skydiver is held out horizontal by centrifugal force which allows the nose to point straight down. This changes the lift vector from vertical to horizontal as well. In this way, lift no longer counteracts gravity and airspeeds may increase greatly to speeds resembling freefall. When the skydiver stops the turning dive, the pendulum effect resumes. The skydiver will settle under the canopy and the airspeed will decrease as well as the dive. That's the principle. Speed = lift. Lift opposes gravity. The landing is extremely dangerous though due to the speed. The smaller the canopy, the higher speed necessary to produce enough lift.

@@theginganinjaofficial I was incorrect about the definition. Any canopy under 150 square feet is defined as 'high-performance' regardless of wing loading. In the case of a 37 square feet canopy this still results in 4 times smaller than the basic definition. A 150 square feet canopy is recommended only for D-license holders. That's a bit overboard in my opinion and the skydiver's weight could have a big impact on the canopy's performance. To me, 1:1 is a much better definition than the arbitrary 150 square feet definition which ignores the impact of wing loading.
@Swooper.x96

@@slartybarfastb3648 The reason why the 150 square feet is the definition is because anything under a 150, REGARDLESS of wing loading, is going to have more responsive inputs and less forgiving flight characteristics because of the shorter lines and shorter wingspan of the canopy. 150 is not arbitrary and wing loading has nothing to do with it. A B license skydiver that weighs 118 lbs out the door and only has 60 jumps should not be flying a 120, even though that is only a 0.9 Wing Loading.
better off useing a folded up napkin lol
Worlds smallest parachute, HaH NOT even close!!! My GIJoe has a much much smaller one. That one in this video is huge by comparison.

Exactly yes. I had 2, a 110 sq/ft and a 99 sq/ft. Big drop at the opening with the 110 and collapses on the 99 to the aerology and the command on big violent turns. Ultra hot when the wing closes in full overspeed!... I never sold them. Far too dangerous. Data for decoration.

I'm guessing that if he didn't get the airspeed he wouldn't be able to level out and get enough lift. Like landing a fighter jet.

@@maxbootstrap7397 well to put it simply, parachutes you need practice to know how to use them and to learn how to deploy them safely. The smaller the canopy the more malfunctions you can get through incorrect deployments and the smaller the canopies the harder they are to control due to speed, if you ask a reputable company to make one for you they quite simply wouldn't do that, failing that Ebay... go spend £3-5k on a used one from someone that doesn't care
