Balloons, parachutes and ballutes

Ben Tutt

Tutt reports that the US Army Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Center has focused on Precision Airdrop Enhancements for autonomously guided cargo airdrops. One enhancement is bleed-air actuators that control airflow through vents in the top skin of a guided Joint-Precision Aerial Delivery Systems parafoil. A wind tunnel test of subscale parachutes was conducted at the NASA Langley Research Center's Transonic Dynamics Tunnel in Virginia. This test supported the ringsail parachute developmnent being undertaken by NASA's Low-Density Supersonic Decelator project.
