ABSTRACT:
A novel parachute slider reefing process enhancement is presented that is distinguished by being significantly less dependent on aerodynamic forces than its predecessors and can, therefore, be designed to perform in a much more precise and predictable manner. This unique means of prolonging the effective reefing time of a parachute reefing slider means consists of adding a cord that extends downward from the lower region of the parachute canopy, to terminate near the lower end of the suspension network, along with a restriction means, to act in conjunction with the cord, to extend the reefed time interval beyond that which is typically provided by aerodynamic forces acting on the slider body.
