Performance Designs Velocity – High-Performance Cross-Braced Canopy
The Performance Designs Velocity is a
high-performance cross-braced canopy built for experienced canopy
pilots who want powerful, responsive flight characteristics and a
long recovery arc.
Its rigid cross-braced structure and clean aerodynamics create a
wide speed range, steep glide and strong energy retention, making
it a demanding but highly capable wing in the right hands.
From opening through to landing, the Velocity is designed for pilots
who already have solid canopy-control skills and are progressing
into more advanced high-performance flight.
Why Choose the Performance Designs Velocity?
The Velocity has long been established as one of Performance Designs’
classic cross-braced canopies, offering powerful performance and
highly responsive controls.
It is suited to experienced canopy pilots who want a significant
step up from a non-cross-braced canopy and who are developing
advanced canopy-piloting skills under appropriate coaching.
Long Recovery Arc
The Velocity dives deeply and recovers over a long arc,
giving experienced pilots substantial energy to manage
through high-performance approaches.
Responsive Handling
Highly responsive controls and cross-braced construction
provide precise input and powerful flight characteristics.
Strong Shutdown Power
The canopy retains significant energy through the approach
and delivers strong stopping performance when flown correctly.

Who Is the PD Velocity For?
The Performance Designs Velocity is aimed at experienced canopy
pilots moving into or already flying cross-braced wings.
It can suit camera flyers, pilots working on high-performance canopy
piloting and experienced skydivers who want strong performance when
returning from long spots.
For some appropriately experienced pilots, the Velocity may also be
used as a first cross-braced canopy, provided the transition is made
with suitable coaching and conservative canopy selection.
Important:
The Velocity is a high-performance cross-braced canopy. Canopy size,
wing loading and suitability should be based on the pilot’s
experience, currency and current Performance Designs guidance,
together with appropriate professional canopy coaching.
