The PD Katana is a fully elliptical 9-cell main canopy engineered for experienced canopy pilots ready to push beyond entry-level performance. It delivers soft, smooth openings, a long control range, aggressive flight characteristics, and responsive handling—all without a cross-braced design.
What Sets the Katana Apart
This canopy stands out with a very steep glide, light front riser pressure, and a long dynamic flare that rewards precise piloting. Long snivel openings and recovery arc provide time to correct heading and altitude, while the wide speed range adapts to your style. Ideal for developing canopy skills or camera flying, the highly tapered wing and HMA lines ensure predictability from approach to flare.

Who Should Choose the Katana?
Built for advanced to expert skydivers actively honing canopy piloting skills, it's an ideal step-up from the Sabre2 or Stiletto. Camera flyers and non-competitive pilots seeking a responsive, demanding wing will thrive. This is not a beginner canopy—it requires good body position, consistent flare timing, and intentional flight planning.
Finding Your Size
Wing loading defines the Katana's flight. Consult the manufacturer's wing loading chart and a canopy coach to match size to your skill, exit weight, and goals. Downsizing enhances the steep dive and snappy handling, but only when ready for higher loads.
