AN-6510 Parachute Seat

Note: This item is currently in storage.

Also known as the S-1, this type was standardized on May 11, 1928. It uses a 24-foot canopy. Many pilots preferred seat-type parachutes because they allowed better freedom of movement when pilots turned their heads.

Donated by Mr. Anthony Williams.
