Parachutes

CPC v2.1 Code: 2717

About parachutes

cpc code 2717 covers the production of parachutes, a critical component in various industries, including aviation, military, and emergency services. Parachutes play a vital role in ensuring the safe descent of personnel, cargo, and equipment from aircraft, making them an essential part of the broader transportation and logistics ecosystem.

Production process

The production of parachutes involves a series of intricate steps. First, the raw materials, such as nylon or silk fabrics, are carefully selected and cut into the desired shapes and sizes. The fabric panels are then sewn together using specialized sewing machines to create the canopy. The suspension lines, which connect the canopy to the harness, are also carefully manufactured and attached. Finally, the parachute is packed and tested to ensure it meets rigorous safety standards before being deployed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the parachute industry include high-quality fabrics, such as nylon or silk, specialized sewing machines, and various hardware components like metal rings and fasteners. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, engineering expertise, and testing equipment to ensure the safety and reliability of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of the parachute industry is, of course, the parachutes themselves. These are used in a variety of applications, including 4811 Air transportation, 9212 Defence activities, and 8424 Public order and safety activities. The parachutes produced under cpc code 2717 may also be consumed by other industries, such as 2920 (Manufacture of bodies (coachwork) for motor vehicles; manufacture of trailers and semi-trailers) for the production of emergency escape systems.
