Nasawing

The NPW was developed in the 1970's for use by NASA as a brake parachute for the reentry of Gemini space capsules. A succesful test was made of the NPW, landing a capsule dropped from high altitude. NASA eventually chose instead to use the round parachute designs for the landing of their capsules

But this gave us the start of this famous kite and all its derivitives

We now have a range of NPW5 kites from 1m – 32m so something for everyone

 We have also supplied an arctic expedition with these kites so still proving that they are very much used and reliable in difficult terrain
