Abstract

Parachutes which have a generally circular skirt or hem, such as semi-hemispherical, extended gore, or any variant of axisymmetric parachutes and cruciform parachutes with arms attached are disclosed with a plurality of vertical slits located in a circumferential band adjacent the skirt or hem of the parachute to prevent canopy inversion. During deployment, when the outer portion of the canopy is exposed to air flow, the slits open up and the drag of the skirt of the canopy is reduced, thus limiting the potential for hem migration. The slits are positioned to allow airflow therethrough in order for the pressure on the outside of the canopy to be transferred through the slit openings and released or transferred to inside of the lower section of the canopy. Instead of slits, elongated narrow openings can be utilized.

Claims (35)

1. A parachute comprising:

a canopy including multiple gores having a gore length and a generally circular skirt or hem around a lower edge of said canopy, said skirt or hem having a skirt band;

suspension lines attached to said skirt band and configured to support a load; and

a plurality of generally vertical reinforced slits spaced around said canopy and extending upwardly from said skirt band, said slits having a vertical height of between about five percent (5%) and about fifteen percent (15%) of said gore length and configured to prevent canopy inversion.

2. The parachute in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the parachute is a semi-hemispherical, extended gore or any variant of axisymmetric parachute.

3. The parachute in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the parachute is a cruciform parachute with arms attached forming corner air openings.

4. The parachute in accordance with claim 1 , wherein at least one slit of the plurality of slits is positioned mid-center of each gore.

5. The parachute in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said slits allow airflow through openings formed by said slits during deployment in order for air pressure on an outside of the canopy to be transferred through the openings and released to a lower inside of the canopy.

6. The parachute in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said slits are equally spaced around a continuous anti-inversion band extending around a lower portion of said gores with a bottom of said band defined by a reinforcement of said skirt or hem with said skirt band and an upper edge of said band defined by a reinforcement extending around said multiple gores.

7. A parachute comprising:

a canopy including multiple gores in a generally circular skirt or hem around a lower edge thereof, said skirt or hem having a skirt band;

suspension lines attached to said skirt band and configured to support a load; and

a plurality of reinforced slits or elongated narrow openings spaced around said canopy and extending upwardly from an area adjacent said skirt band, said slits or openings being configured to enable airflow during deployment such that air pressure on an outside of the canopy is transferred through the slits or openings and released to a lower inside of the canopy so as to prevent canopy inversion during the deployment.

8. The parachute in accordance with claim 7 , wherein said reinforced slits or elongated narrow openings have a vertical height of between about five percent (5%) and about fifteen percent (15%) of a gore length of said gores.

9. The parachute in accordance with claim 7 , wherein at least one slit or elongated narrow opening of the plurality of slits or elongated narrow openings is positioned mid-center of each gore.

10. The parachute in accordance with claim 7 , wherein said slits or elongated narrow openings are contained within a continuous anti-inversion band extending around a lower portion of said gores with a bottom of said band defined by a reinforcement of said skirt or hem and an upper edge of said band defined by a reinforcement extending around said multiple gores.

11. The parachute in accordance with claim 10 , wherein a total area of the elongated narrow openings constitutes no more than 2.5% of a total area of the circular anti-inversion band.

12. The parachute in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said slits are spaced equally around said canopy.

13. The parachute in accordance with claim 1 , wherein a number of the slits is no less than fifty percent (50%) of a number of said gores.

14. A parachute comprising:

a canopy including multiple gores in a generally circular skirt or hem around a lower edge of said canopy;

suspension lines attached to said skirt or hem and configured to support a load; and

an anti-inversion band extending around a lower portion of said gores with a bottom of said band defined by a reinforcement of said skirt or hem and an upper edge of said band defined by a reinforcement extending around said multiple gores, said anti-inversion band including spaced slits or elongated narrow openings that are configured to prevent canopy inversion during deployment by allowing airflow therethrough during deployment from outside of the canopy to a lower inside of the canopy.

15. The parachute in accordance with claim 14 , wherein the parachute is a semi-hemispherical, extended gore or any variant of axisymmetric parachute.

16. The parachute in accordance with claim 14 , wherein the parachute is a cruciform parachute with arms attached forming corner air openings.

17. The parachute in accordance with claim 14 , wherein at least one of said slits or elongated narrow openings is positioned mid-center of each gore.

18. The parachute in accordance with claim 14 , wherein said slits or elongated narrow openings have a vertical height of between about five percent (5%) and about fifteen percent (15%) of a gore length.

19. The parachute in accordance with claim 14 , wherein a total area of the elongated narrow openings constitutes no more than 2.5% of a total area of the circular anti-inversion band.

20. The parachute in accordance with claim 14 , wherein said slits or elongated narrow openings are spaced equally around said canopy.

21. The parachute in accordance with claim 14 , wherein a number of slits is no less than fifty percent (50%) of a number of said gores.

22. The parachute in accordance with claim 1 , wherein opening of said slits during deployment reduces the drag of the skirt or hem of the canopy, thus limiting the potential for skirt or hem migration.

23. The parachute in accordance with claim 7 , wherein opening of said slits or openings during deployment reduces the drag of the skirt of the canopy, thus limiting the potential for skirt or hem migration.

24. The parachute in accordance with claim 14 , wherein opening of said slits or openings during deployment reduces the drag of the skirt or hem of the canopy, thus limiting the potential for skirt or hem migration.

25. A method of providing anti-inversion capability to a parachute having a canopy with a generally circular skirt or hem around a lower edge thereof, the skirt or hem having a skirt band, said method comprising providing a plurality of generally vertical reinforced slits or elongated narrow openings spaced around said canopy and extending upwardly from said skirt band, said slits or openings being configured to reduce drag of said skirt or hem of the canopy during deployment and to enable air flow during deployment such that air pressure on an outside of the canopy is transferred through the slits or openings and released to a lower inside of the canopy so as to prevent canopy inversion during the deployment.

26. The method in accordance with claim 25 , wherein the parachute is selected from the group consisting of semi-hemispherical, extended gore and any variant of axisymmetric parachutes and cruciform parachutes with arms attached to form corner openings.
