ABSTRACT:
A built-in control flap for a ram air, multi-cell, wing type canopy having a ram air inlet is located in each side of the canopy at the rear portion thereof. Each built-in control flap is separated from the adjacent center portion of the canopy between the control flaps. A seal and guide of a sheet of flexible material connects the top of each control flap to the bottom of the adjacent center portion of the canopy across the separation for directing air flow thereby when a control flap is down. Each control flap receives air flow from the ram air inlet.
