about Fruity Chutes
Who We Are
Fruity Chutes is a world leader in the manufacturing of recovery systems for small to mid-size UAV, RC, Quadcopter, Drone and Rocket parachute recovery. We provide recovery systems to many of the top UAS manufacturers including AAI Textron, Quest UAV, Aeromao, PST Jets, Space X and more. Other customers who use our products include Google, Intel, NASA, MIT and Boeing. Many US and EU aerospace companies are working with our products integrating them into their UAS products. Our top priority is to work with manufacturers and to help provide them with our world class recovery systems.
How We Started
Fruity Chutes started in 2007 and at that time our primary market was providing chutes and other related products to the Rocketry community. You can read our Original about Us page and learn how we got the memorable name, and our colorful logo. It's a good story and we preserved it so we don't forget.
Since then and over the years we have had tremendous growth doubling business year over year. Starting around 2009 we began to sell our parachutes systems into the then very young UAS market to research projects, and manufactures. In 2010 we began to look at how we could tune our products for the UAS market. The biggest change was the development introduction of the Iris Ultra line of chutes in 2011. These featured a much higher Cd than conical or elliptical chutes and allows a smaller lighter weight chute to be used on a given recovery load. In 2012 we began to have our own custom made Spectra used for the shroud lines and other harnesses and rigging and this further lightened our parachutes with no decrease in strength. This allowed us to take a clear lead in recovery technology especially the weight sensitive UAS recovery market.
We continue to strive to better serve our customers with innovative products. We not only provide parachutes, but complete deployment systems including CO2 activated parachute systems. We have multiple product lines specifically designed for various UAS systems including fixed wing, multi-rotor, as well as rocketry and other research applications.
