AN ENCLOSURE FOR TRANSPORTING PEOPLE TO AND FROM HIGH-ALTITUDES

摘要

An enclosure (10) for transporting people (1000) to and from high-altitudes, comprising a body (20) adapted for housing the people (1000) having a top portion (30); and a drag inducing structure (60) extending upwardly from the top portion (30) such that in use, during descent, the drag inducing structure (60) creates drag causing it to trail behind the body (20) such that the enclosure (10) is maintained in a substantially upright orientation. The drag inducing structure (60) comprises one or more fins (70) adapted to reduce rotation of the enclosure (10) during descent in use. The drag inducing structure (60) further comprises one or more drag portions (80) and wherein the one or more fins (70) extend upwardly from the top portion (30) of the body (20) and the one or more drag portions (80) are located above and connected to the one or more fins (70). The periphery of the one or more drag portions (80) is greater than the periphery of the body (20).
