The World is Not Enough marked one of our initial projects, requiring us to design a powered parachute, conduct test flights, and train a team of pilots for aerial sequences in the French Alps at an altitude of 6,000 feet.
We also developed a parachute cutaway system to facilitate the use of the Parahawk for ground chase sequences after aerial maneuvers.
Coordinating the world’s first powered parachute BASE jump was both enjoyable and presented significant challenges, particularly in ensuring the backup parachute deployed effectively after the descent from the cliff.
Nonetheless, the highlight was flying the powered parachute with a deliberate hole in the canopy, resulting in a real crash into a tree.
