This book was released on with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing importance of the brush fire type of warfare, in which any conflagration is to be confined immediately to a localized situation, has in proportion increased the importance of the high mobility fighting units. In brush fire warfare it is essential that sufficient manpower and fire power reach the scene of action with minimum delay. The advantage of direct air delivery of the complete fighting unit with all necessary supplies is obvious, and the capability of reliable airdrop with pinpoint accuracy into enemy held territory is fundamentally vital.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents the results of an in-depth exploratory development study of a parachute retrorocket recovery system for the airdrop of cargo loads weighing up to 50,000 pounds and the results of actual drop tests of loads weighing from 3000 to 35,000 pounds. The study indicates that a parachute retrorocket recovery system is particularly feasible for the recovery of airdrop loads and may prove to be the only practical system for heavy loads, especially if low altitude is a requirement.

Download or read book Advanced Development of a Parachute Retrorocket Airdrop System written by George Chakoian and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report proposes a plan for Advanced Development of a Parachute Retrorocket Airdrop System for the airdrop of cargo loads weighing from 2500 to 40,000 pounds from altitudes of 500 feet or less above terrain. The Parachute Retrorocket Airdrop System concept uses relatively small fast opening parachutes for stabilization and preliminary retardation in combination with rockets for final descent velocity control just prior to impact. This capability is required by the US Army to increase delivery accuracy and to provide greater protection to the aircraft by decreasing its detection to hostile radar and fire. The objectives of this plan for advanced development consist of detailed functional, economic and operational analyses of the system, advanced development hardware design, fabrication and flight testing.

Download or read book Low Altitude High Speed Cargo Parachute System Development written by W. D. Sundberg and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Low Altitude High Speed Cargo (LAHSC) parachute is being developed for deployment at velocities up to 250 knots at 300 ft altitude. The LAHSC parachute will decelerate and turnover a load to a 40 to 60 ft/sec vertical velocity at first vertical at approximately 30 ft AGL. The acceleration limit is 5g's. Main chute cargo extraction will be necessary. A single parachute will be utilized for a 7500 lb load, and clusters will be used for larger loads. The 64-gore, 70-ft-dia parachute has a ring-slot/solid construction with a flare at the skirt to aid the inflation. This paper describes the parachute, the design process and testing to date. Model parachutes have been tested in wind tunnels and in free flight. A single full-scale parachute has been tested at low speeds with conventional load extraction, and with a vertical trajectory at deployment.

Book excerpt: The report presents the results of an in-depth exploratory study of the Parachute Retrorocket Airdrop System to determine its potential for meeting the technical, economic and operational requirements of an airdrop system capable of delivering supplies and equipment weighing from 2000 to 35,000 pounds from cargo aircraft flying at an altitude of 500 feet or less above the terrain. Actual airdrops were conducted to demonstrate system capability for loads weighing up to 35,000 pounds from low altitudes.

Download or read book Parachute Recovery Systems written by Theo W. Knacke and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide recovery system engineers in government and industry with tools to evaluate, analyze, select, and design parachute recovery systems. These systems range from simple, one-parachute assemblies to multiple-parachute systems, and may include equipment for impact attenuation, flotation, location, retrieval, and disposition. All system aspects are discussed, including the need for parachute recovery, the selection of the most suitable recovery system concept, concept analysis, parachute performance, force and stress analysis, material selection, parachute assembly and component design, and manufacturing. Experienced recovery system engineers will find this publication useful as a technical reference book; recent college graduates will find it useful as a textbook for learning about parachutes and parachute recovery systems; and technicians with extensive practical experience will find it useful as an engineering textbook that includes a chapter on parachute- related aerodynamics. In this manual, emphasis is placed on aiding government employees in evaluating and supervising the design and application of parachute systems. The parachute recovery system uses aerodynamic drag to decelerate people and equipment moving in air from a higher velocity to a lower velocity and to a safe landing. This lower velocity is known as rate of descent, landing velocity, or impact velocity, and is determined by the following requirements: (1) landing personnel uninjured and ready for action, (2) landing equipment and air vehicles undamaged and ready for use or refurbishment, and (3) impacting ordnance at a preselected angle and velocity.
