Normalizing drop test reefed drag area for suspension line length with data from Wolf allows best match of test results with Knacke reefing ratio curve. Various sizes and porosities of quarter spherical ribbon parachutes were tested. All appear to fit the published reefing ratio curve-quarter spherical parachutes match.
