A mortar located at the bottom left of the screen fired parabolic shots upward. From right to left, at the top of the image, a plane moved, dropping paratroopers. The objective was to shoot down the plane with the parabolic shot and thus finish off all the paratroopers who had not yet jumped, or shoot the paratroopers as they fell, or, finally, shoot those who were already on the ground.

El Paracaidista (The Parachutist) was a recreational machine that did not go beyond a prototype. Although 25 machines were built as a prototype, it was never commercialized.
