ABSTRACT:
An improved ram air, multi-cell wing type canopy with suspension flares has its lower surface shortened to provide an enlarged inlet; one flare is directly attached to its upper surface. A modification has a channel provided to direct air flow over the upper surface. Scoops under the lower surface at the rear end provide protection against the canopy uncontrollably folding under.
