Skydiving gear database

We are building a comprehensive database of all the skydiving gear that ever existed.

Firebird

Chili

Main Canopy Discontinued

The Firebird Chili is part of our growing skydiving gear database. This page will eventually include a detailed description of the canopy's history, design, and flight characteristics.

In the meantime, you'll already find some basic information such as canopy type, sizes, and manufacturer details.

Our goal is to build a complete reference for skydivers, riggers, and instructors covering every main, reserve, and tandem canopy ever made.

If you have additional details, manuals, or first-hand experience with the Chili, we'd love your input. Please contact us to help expand the database.
