Reefing data were collected and evaluated for the following parachute types: solid circular parachutes of flat, conical, and triconical design; extended skirt parachutes of 10 percent flat extended, 10 percent straight extended, and fully extended (14.3 percent) design; and slotted parachutes of ringslot, Ringsail, and flat and conical ribbon design. Various reefing terminologies are discussed that have been used in the past and a recommendation is made for a common terminology. Background data are provided for all parachutes analyzed.
