Inflatable aerofoil gliding parachute - has outlet holes to permit through-flow of inflating air

The gliding parachute has holes in the leading edge, which enable air to flow into the parachute and inflate it to form an aerofoil cross-section. In existing gliding parachutes of this type there is no outlet for the air. There are air outlets (4) in the rear part of the upper surface of the aerofo...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The gliding parachute has holes in the leading edge, which enable air to flow into the parachute and inflate it to form an aerofoil cross-section. In existing gliding parachutes of this type there is no outlet for the air. There are air outlets (4) in the rear part of the upper surface of the aerofoil. The air flowing from these outlets (4) flows tangentially over the upper surface of the parachute. These outlets holes prevent the formation of vortices at the inlet holes (2) and improve the gliding characteristics of the parachute. USE - Gliding parachute inflated to form aerofoil section.
