PD Pulse: Built for the Active Fun Jumper
The Performance Designs Pulse is a lightly elliptical 9-cell canopy designed especially to suit the active intermediate to experienced “fun jumper.” With soft, consistently on-heading openings, shorter snivel, flat glide, and low pack volume, the Pulse is the ideal canopy for jumpers who fly regularly and want reliable, enjoyable performance.
Key Features:
- Lightly Elliptical 9-Cell: More performance than rectangular, less aggressive than fully elliptical
- Shorter Snivel: Faster, more efficient deployments than Spectre
- Flat Glide: Excellent penetration and distance coverage
- Low Pack Volume: Fits easily in standard containers
- Available Sizes: 97-230 sq ft | Recommended Wing Loading: 1.0-1.6
Who Should Fly the Pulse: Perfect for intermediate pilots ready to progress from student canopies, active fun jumpers who fly multiple disciplines, novices who want a forgiving canopy at light wing loadings, or experienced jumpers wanting reliable everyday performance.
Flight Characteristics: Soft, consistently on-heading openings with shorter snivel for altitude efficiency. Very flat glide for excellent range. Responsive, progressive handling. Smooth, predictable turns. Solid flare with good power. Easier packing than more elliptical designs.
Compare to Spectre: The Pulse offers shorter snivel (less altitude loss), slightly more responsive handling, and marginally lower pack volume while maintaining the Spectre’s reliability and flat glide characteristics.
The active fun jumper’s go-to canopy. Reliable, versatile, enjoyable—jump after jump.
