About Airtec

AAD, from “no go” to “have to” The creation of the CYbernetic Parachute RElease System (CYPRES) was developed out of a desperate need to stop seeing people get killed while skydiving. Prior to the development of the CYPRES, automatic activation devices were unreliable and often fired at the wrong times. Inventor, Helmut Cloth felt called to create a solution after his friend Freddy Leising was killed during a bigway. The AAD’s of the time were more hazardous than helpful and so began a four-year commitment to creating a device that was literally perfect. Few thought it was possible, but it didn’t deter Cloth from seeing it through. In 2019, CYPRES celebrates its 28th year of operation. Since the first CYPRES unit was sold, 224,000+ units have been produced, 5,000+ skydivers have been saved from death. More than 146,000,000+ jumps have been made using a CYPRES and a device has never failed to activate and cut the loop when the conditions were met.* *As of our knowledge, and given the loop was routed through the cutter. The CYPRES has been the automatic activation device of choice for millions of skydivers, the most elite special forces and the Red Bull Stratos Project. https://www.cypres.aero/legalnotice/
