Floats18 0 #1 September 27, 2005 Hey All, Just trying to figure out the ratio between sides on a rectangular 9 cell canopy. i.e. total sq feet = length x width, and there must be a relation length/width = some constant 'C'. WTF is c?--- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #2 September 27, 2005 C would be the aspect ratio. Do a search for that and you should find what you're looking for. It's different for every canopy, but I'm sure theres a small range for non-elliptical 9-cell canopies. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Floats18 0 #4 September 27, 2005 Searched it, seems like most canopys fall between 7 Cell 1.8 -----> Radical 321 cell xbrace 2.9 A conservative 9 cell aspect ratio would be somewhere around 2.3?--- and give them wings so they may fly free forever DiverDriver in Training Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most Sabre/Sabre2 class canopies are in the 2.5-2.6 range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
