Analysis of new ultralight weight, high-drag concept which employs structural principles similar to those used in suspension bridges or bicycle wheel design, that is, high-strength filamentary strings in pure tension, central support member, and equatorial ring that is stabilized against buckling by forebody and afterbody strings; 12-in. diam models have been constructed from trilene monofilaments with plexiglass rings and central supports; following materials might be best for flight vehicles, strings of "S" glass yarn (Owens Corning Fiberglass Corp), toroidal ring of aluminum, and central support of aluminum honeycomb sandwich.
