Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007004018A1] The invention relates to a parachute of which the canopy is configured in its deployed/inflated configuration to define an inner/upper segment (20) equivalent to that of a round inflated canopy and an outer/lower segment (22) equivalent to that of an annular inflated canopy. The ratio of the outer/lower segment inflated height (24) to the total inflated height (26) of the canopy and the porosity of the material forming the canopy are such that the rate of descent of a parachute having the canopy and the stability of the parachute, in terms of oscillation during descent, are determined to provide for optimum parachute safety.
