An aircraft ejection system is provided. The aircraft ejection system may comprise a seat (106), a bridle (108) coupled to the seat, suspension lines (110) coupled to the bridle, and a drogue canopy (120) coupled to the suspension lines. A first side (124) of the drogue canopy may have a lower drag than a second side of the drogue canopy. The first side may comprise a mesh portion and/or an opening to reduce drag. The first side may further include a low-resistance structure (122) with a circular or rectangular geometry. The bridle and the suspension lines may be configured to direct the first side in a predetermined direction, such as downward.
