The Hermes I bag did not stow or restrain the main parachute suspension lines or riser. There was concern that the unrestrained lines and riser could tangle with themselves or with the various hardware at the confluence. This could have caused the lines to abrade or TODO.
Hermes II Main Bag Improvements
The first generation of the Hermes II main bag was sub-par so we deemed it a prototype. We are making the following improvements to the design.
- Move the bottom tape towards the mouth to allow for the full seam allowance.
- Single exterior rectangle.
