ABSTRACT:
A slider type of reefing device physically restricts opening of a parachute canopy through its suspension lines, and hingedly mounts a flow deflecting flap to aerodynamically divert the inflow of inflating air to a ram-air inflated airfoil canopy. Aerodynamic drag of a slider baffle retards descent of the reefing slider and flow deflecting flap on the suspension lines.
