Abrégé

A method for controlling the drag area growth of a parachute canopy during airborne descent with sensors attached to the payload for facilitating modification of the schedule of release of a parachute canopy reefing mechanism. A control processor is included that can receive and/or calculate a schedule for disengaging the reefing on the parachute. One or more wireless transmitters at the payload transmit the releasing signal from the payload to the reefing mechanism normally located adjacent the parachute canopy. The control processor can also be configured to receive input information from multiple sensors attached to the payload that monitor parameters such as altitude, position, load force, dynamic pressure, time and others to facilitate instantaneous recalculation of the disreefing schedule responsive to such conditions.

Abrégé

A reefing apparatus for controlling inflation of a gliding wing parachute which has a generally rectangular or trapezoidal canopy with four outer corners. The reefing mechanism includes a primary reefing loop with four supplemental reefing loops movably secured thereto by loops and connected through mounting rings to the four corners of the canopy to retain it in a general cloverleaf shape during initial stages of deployment and responsive to cutting of the primary reefing loop for release thereof for allowing full deployment or deployment into another reefed stage of the gliding wing canopy. The suspension lines are divided into four groups primarily defined by the corner closest to the point of attachment between the suspension line and the canopy.
