ABSTRACT:
A novel parachute design is presented that is distinguished by having inverted-gores, producing a parachute having a unique shape, which can be, selectively, either ballistic or gliding and steerable, in addition to having a selectively variable rate of descent. Moreover, the parachute design allows for a very efficient use of materials.
