Summary: | An airfoil-shaped parachute having airflow channels formed below a top flexible canopy between ribs extending from the leading edge of the canopy toward its trailing edge. Suspension lines are secured to the lower edges of the ribs for supporting a payload. The airflow through the channels and the distribution of stress applied from the suspension lines, maintains the airfoil shape of the inflated parachute to sustain a controlled glide path for the payload. |
