ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improvement in a collapsible decelerator for aerial bombs launched from a high velocity vehicle and designed to provide a high drag stabilizer capable of withstanding release in air stream velocities from subsonic to transonic. The decelerator preferably includes a hollow inflatable star, the outermost points of which have hooded valve openings through which regulated airflow enters and inflates the star to decelerate the munition to which it is attached. The improvement comprises an offset mounting piece to create a side force on the decelerator, expanding the coverage pattern of deployed bodies. The amount of offset controls the magnitude of the side or lateral force on the device during descent.
