Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characteristics of Guide Surface, Ribbon and Rotafoil parachutes operated in the speed ranges up to 500 miles per hour are described. These characteristics were determined by means of two tests conducted with rocket powered test vehicles operated on the Free Air Test Facility Track at Edwards Air Force Base. The various parachutes tested are intended for use as parabrakes to decelerated high velocity missiles to relatively low speeds at which large parachutes can be satisfactorily deployed to accomplish safe recovery. All test parachutes were designed to have drag areas of approximtely 28 ft2 and factors of safety of 1.5 at 400 miles per hour. The data obtained during this test program included inflation times, opening shock factors, drag forces and inflated diameters of the test parachutes at various deployment speeds. These data are used to provide design information about drag coefficients, critical opening speeds, porosities, and strength requirements for these parachutes.

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.

Book excerpt: This document serves as the third revision of the USAF Parachute Handbook which was first published in 1951. The data and information represent the current state of the art relative to recovery system design and development. The initial chapters describe representative recovery applications, components, subsystems, material, manufacture and testing. The final chapters provide empirical data and analytical methods useful for predicting performance and presenting a definitive design of selected components into a reliable recovery system.
