A wide range of parachute and decelerator technology is covered in this 103 abstract bibliography. Devices include inflatable, supersonic, autorotor, and retrorocket decelerators; drag devices and tow plates, ballutes, and many types of parachutes. Discussions cover slow descent, semiautomatic openers, simulation, descent dynamics, trajectories, shock, servoactuators and release mechanisms, opening behavior, snatch forces, aerodynamic reefing, evaluation methods, parachute fabric life expectancy, shroud line forces, flight tests, and wind tunnel tests and models.
