This AGARD report discusses the principal aerodynamic characteristics of parachutes and the factors which affect them. It is anticipated that its main readers will be recent engineering graduates entering research establishments, parachute companies or related industries so some appreciation of basic mechanics, the principles of computing and elementary fluid dynamics on the part of the reader has been assumed. Its contents include Steady-State and Unsteady Aerodynamics, Parachute Deployment and Inflation, Experimental Investigations, Methods of analysis, Extraterrestrial Parachute Applications, and some suggestions for future research.
