ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a parachute having a canopy with an outer peripheral skirt and a plurality of spaced apart attachment points comprises selecting one of the attachment points as a starting point and winding a continuous fiber from the starting point to other attachement points until a net of reinforcement fiber is formed among the attachment points. A canopy is then attached to the resulting reinforcement net. Nonporous material can be used for the canopy because of the strong reinforcement achieved.
