ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a polymaneuverable canopy and to a process for its control by a parachutist. This canopy comprises windows distributed symmetrically in relation to a main plane of symmetry XY, and control lines connecting together the various windows in such a manner that a pull on one line (3) causes a rotation of the canopy to the right, while a pull on two lines (3, 4) causes a braking or rearward displacement of the canopy when the lines are situated one on each side of the plane of symmetry, and a pull on two lines (3, 5) situated on the same side of the plane of symmetry XY brings about a straight lateral displacement of the canopy.
