ABSTRACT:
The outer airfoil surface portions of a forward gliding type parachute canopy are made from one-piece flexible panels secured to each other along seams extending in transverse intersecting relation to the seams connecting spaced ribs to the outer surface portions to form internal airflow channels. Each panel is substantially equal in length to the spanwise dimension of the canopy.
