A drogue parachute assembly 120 has a canopy housing 130 coupled to an outer mortar tube 162 of a mortar 160, which telescopes relative to an inner mortar tube 164; and a guide plate 150 which contacts an interface surface 158 of the canopy housing and pivots the mortar about a joint 168. Also claimed is an ejection seat (fig.1,100) where the drogue parachute assembly is located in the interior (fig.2,122) of the seats back (fig.1,102), and the inner mortar tube is coupled to the seat back via the pivot joint. Also claimed is a canopy housing for a drogue parachute assembly with a canopy storage bag (fig.6A,190), located in a main body (fig.6A,210), having a fabric portion (fig.6A,192) defining a number of channels or flutes (fig.6A,196); and a cover (fig.6A,212) coupled to the main body. A riser (fig.6B,142) may be coupled to a canopy (fig.5,140) located in the housing, where a portion (fig.6B,142a) of the riser passes through locking loops (fig.6B,230,234,238) associated with the cover and the main body of the canopy housing, respectively.
