Guest #1 April 27, 2007 Here's something you don't see every day: an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that uses a square parachute and GPS to make covert special deliveries of supplies to troops in out of the way places.

dbattman 0 #2 April 27, 2007 Atair was developing a system for a similar app involving a large tandem canopy, altitude deployed round 'reserve' landing chute, and GPS steering. Kick it out of a plane and deliver several hundred pounds on-target. This looks like a longer range app- still pretty darn cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbrown 26 #5 April 28, 2007 Historically, that's how the first ram airs came about. Domina Jalbert designed his first Parafoil as a kite for lifting and delivering unmanned payloads. the human application as a parachute only came later. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !
