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. Adopted in 1928, the S-1 and S-2 seat parachutes are identified by the early style bayonet harness fasteners. Beginning in 1941, the AN-6510 and AN-6511 with the snap hook/V-ring harness joined the ranks. Both the S and AN styles were used throughout the war. 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.
We offer several versions of the seat parachute for special order created with original AN-6510/AN-6511 pack trays. The S-1/S-2 versions feature early war canvas chest guards, bayonet hardware, and blackened ripcord housing. The AN-6510/AN-6511 models are complete with the characteristic snap hook/V-ring hardware fasteners. The seat pack system is complete with the harness, pack tray, back pad, and seat cushion.
