Hybrid VK 67

A “Hybrid VK” canopy, referring to a “Hybrid Valkyrie” from Performance Designs, is a high-performance skydiving canopy that combines the standard Valkyrie design with added sail fabric within the ribs, giving it increased power, responsiveness, and longer swooping capabilities compared to a regular Valkyrie, essentially making it a more “aggressive” version of the canopy with greater sensitivity in the harness and more stopping power; essentially a “Valkyrie on steroids.”.

Key points about the Hybrid VK:
Sail Rib Construction:
The key feature is the inclusion of sail fabric within the canopy’s ribs, enhancing its performance characteristics.
Increased Power and Responsiveness:
Compared to a standard Valkyrie, the Hybrid VK offers more power and quicker response to pilot inputs.

Longer Swoops:
Due to the added sail fabric, the Hybrid VK can perform longer and more dynamic swoops.

Experienced Pilots:
This canopy is typically recommended for more experienced skydivers who are looking for a high-performance canopy with enhanced maneuverability.
