Parachute with inflation assistance device.

摘要

A flat circular parachute canopy, or a conical or hemispherical canopy, which may have an extended skirt and with the canopy of gore construction has external gores (3) of porous material covering selected canopy gores and arranged to ensure circular balance of the canopy. Each external gore covering is mounted on radial seams of the canopy gore which it covers, beginning at a point above the canopy skirt and extending along the radial seams and across the apex hem, to define a compartment for accepting external air flow turbulence existing on the elongated <<just deployed>> canopy prior to normal inflation. The external gore is closed at its top and incorporates an anti-oscillation vent.
