He is best known for creating and distributing the "Raven" series of ram-air parachutes, unique because they were the first type that could be scaled to different sizes, allowing people of different body weights and types to experience the same performance from the same type of parachute.[2] Raven reserve parachutes are the most widely used reserve canopies in the world,[2] used by the U.S. military for special operations.[3] Galloway has been in the parachute business since 1975[2] selling to clients ranging from both U.S. and foreign armed forces to high-rise building workers in dangerous areas[4] and in 21 different countries.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://www.precision.net/packing.htm| title=The Precision Pack| last=Galloway| first=George| publisher=Precision Aerodynamics| accessdate=2011-05-08}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web| title=Precision Aerodynamics| publisher=Precision Aerodynamics, Inc.| accessdate=2011-05-09| url=http://www.precision.aero/about-precision.htm}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=The Super Raven Reserve |publisher=Precision Aerodynamics |accessdate=2011-05-09 |url=http://www.paragear.com/templates/parachute.asp?group=75&t2parent=2&t3parent=9&parent=36&level=4 |archive-url=https://archive.is/20130131011047/http://www.paragear.com/templates/parachute.asp?group=75&t2parent=2&t3parent=9&parent=36&level=4 |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2013-01-31 }} 4. ^{{cite web| title=Parachute maker develops high-rise survivor model| date=2003-04-14| accessdate=2011-05-10| publisher=USA Today| url=https://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/techinnovations/2003-04-14-escape-chute_x.htm}} 5. ^{{cite news |title= |author= |newspaper= Chattanooga Times Free Press|date= 1992-02-17}} External links
