AN-6510/S-1 Seat Packs
Perhaps the most iconic of vintage parachutes, the seat type was one of the most versatile and widely used parachutes of the era. Designed with the pilot sitting on the parachute pack, it allowed flyers to easily flex in their seats and enjoy greater visibility in all directions. Initially adopted in 1928 as the S-1, it was equipped with the early style bayonet push/twist buckles and complex back pad arrangement. With war a reality, it was simplified and re-standardized as the AN-6510, and production switched in the spring of 1942. Due to huge surplus stocks of seat parachutes during the war, this type was widely issued to fighter pilots as well as on training flights.
Built with our custom woven harness webbing and 7-class stitching, this is a faithful reproduction of the classic fighter pilot seat parachute. The harness has full length risers and includes the hand sewn rigger tacks throughout the harness just like originals. Built with our custom dyed "Aircorps Drab" canvas, the pack tray is complete with the swaged steel wire frame, 5 phenolic stiffeners, and all the detailed flaps, loops, and reinforcements. The back pad and seat cushion feature our comfortable custom cut, period-style padding and genuine Scoville fasteners. The assembly is complete with all part, date, and manufacturer stamps. A beautiful replica of this classic parachute. (If looking for the early S-1 model, please inquire)
