The PD Zero from Performance Designs is a purpose-built accuracy main canopy for precision competition, demonstration jumps, and coached target-landing work. It is not a normal everyday sport canopy. The Zero is for jumpers who specifically need an accuracy wing: steady approaches, controlled descent, and repeatable landings on a defined target.

Performance Designs developed the Zero for the traditional accuracy discipline, with input from accuracy specialists including Jimmy Hayhurst and Cheryl Stearns. The goal is simple: give accuracy pilots a modern PD-built canopy for a part of the sport that has long relied on older designs.

Who the PD Zero is for

• Competition accuracy skydivers who need a canopy built around target landings.
• Demonstration jumpers who need predictable, controlled approaches.
• Beginner accuracy pilots only when working under proper coaching.

What makes it different

The Zero is a specialist accuracy canopy, so the buying decision is different from choosing a Sabre3, Pulse, or other general sport main. You are choosing for landing accuracy, approach control, and the setup your coach or rigger wants — not for speed, dive, or everyday all-round flying.

• 7-cell accuracy design for precision target work.
• Sizes 205-325 sq ft for the accuracy use case.
• PD technical setup options including soft-cell port tapes, steering-line geometry options, wingtip C/D vent tapes, and hard or soft toggle riser choices.
• Stock or custom ordering through SkydiveShop, with a custom 3D colour designer on this page.

Before you order

Start with your real exit weight and the official PD Zero wing loading chart. Then confirm the size and setup with the coach, instructor, or rigger who understands your accuracy training, competition or demo requirements, landing area, and local rules.

If a suitable PD stock canopy is available, that is usually the fastest route. Choose a custom Zero if you need a specific colour layout, a fresh build, or a size that is not currently available in stock.
