About parachutes

cpc code 27170 covers the production of parachutes, a critical component in various industries, including aviation, military, and recreational activities. Parachutes play a vital role in ensuring the safe descent of personnel, cargo, and equipment, making them an essential part of the broader transportation and logistics ecosystem.

Production process

The production of parachutes typically involves a multi-step process. 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 techniques to create the parachute canopy. The suspension lines, which connect the canopy to the harness or payload, are also manufactured and attached. Finally, the parachute is tested for strength, stability, and deployment reliability before being certified for use.

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 rings, clips, and harnesses. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced design and engineering expertise to ensure the parachutes meet stringent safety and performance standards.

Production outputs

The primary output of the parachute industry is, of course, the parachutes themselves. These products are consumed by a variety of industries, including 48110 Air Transportation, 92412 Parachuting and Skydiving Centers, and 92613 Military and Other Outdoor Adventure Clubs and Organizations.
