Magnum Ballistic Parachutes are manufactured by Stratos 07 in Europe. The company has been in business for over 30 years, providing and refining ballistic parachute systems for light aircraft, as well as manufacturing other high-tech products for military and law enforcement.

In 1990 Mr. Josef Straka of the Czech Republic (current owner of Stratos 07) formed a partnership with the German firm Junkers to develop a superior all-plane ballistic recovery system. Czech ballistic experts, with extensive history in military ballistic and parachute design for the Soviet Block during the Cold War, offered their knowledge in the design of these new parachute systems for light aircraft.

In 1996 the partnership reorganized when Junkers ownership changed hands, and Stratos 07 became an independent manufacturer. Stratos 07 has continued to manufacture, develop and test ballistic parachute systems for a wide variety of Ultralight, Light Sport and Experimental aircraft. The Stratos Magnum Systems are state-of-the-art ballistic parachutes utilized by many aircraft manufacturers in Europe and other countries, including many of the SLSA aircraft models imported into the United States.

Magnum Ballistic Parachute Systems have been available in the United States since 2006.

Loaner Canopy When Yours is Due for Repack. That's right! A a loaner canopy, of the same size and style as the one you purchase from us, is available at no charge for installation in your aircraft while your system is being inspected and repacked (repack cycles are 6 years for most systems). This allows our customers to continue to fly with a complete ballistic recovery system in their aircraft while theirs is being repacked. No other parachute company offers their customers this peace of mind!

Magnum Parachute repack costs are considerably less expensive than most other manufacturer's, and for our Softpack systems the repack cycle is 5 or 6 years instead of only 1 or 2 years with other brands.

Softpack Systems (660, 715, 990 and 1045): 5 or 6 year repack cycle, $1,460

Softpack Systems (1670): 6 Year Repack Cycle, $1,775

Canister Systems (660, 715, 990, 1045 and 1100): 5 or 6 year repack cycle, $1,460

VLS Systems (1100 and 1670): 6 year repack cycle, $1,875

Haz-Mat shipping cost to any location in the continental United States is a flat $175, and covers both parcels (the parcel containing the parachute and the parcel containing the rocket).

The rocket is shipped in a specialized reusable container, which is shipped back to us after you remove the rocket assembly from the container.

We will email you a pre-paid return label for the rocket container, so all you will need to do is simply tape the box back up that contains the rocket carrier, apply the pre-paid label. We will arrange for the container to be picked up at any U.S. address. The deposit on the container ($300) is refunded to you the day we receive the returned shipment.
