Several systems for aerial delivery of large payloads with a gliding capability are composed and analyzed. For the gliding and landing phases these systems incorporate gliding parachutes, wings, lifting bodies, rotors, and retro-rockets. The feasibility of the systems is discussed and recommendations are made based on the results of the investigations.
