Abstract : The purpose of this manual is to provide recovery system engineers in government and industry with tools to evaluate, analyze, select, and design parachute recovery systems. These systems range from simple, one-parachute assemblies to multiple-parachute systems, and may include equipment for impact attenuation, flotation, location, retrieval, and disposition. All system aspects are discussed, including the need for parachute recovery, the selection of the most suitable recovery system concept, concept analysis, parachute performance, force and stress analysis, material selection, parachute assembly and component design, and manufacturing. Experienced recovery system engineers will find this publication useful as a technical reference book; recent college graduates will find it useful as a textbook for learning about parachutes and parachute recovery systems; and technicians with extensive practical experience will find it useful as an engineering textbook that includes a chapter on parachute- related aerodynamics. In this manual, emphasis is placed on aiding government employees in evaluating and supervising the design and application of parachute systems. The parachute recovery system uses aerodynamic drag to decelerate people and equipment moving in air from a higher velocity to a lower velocity and to a safe landing. This lower velocity is known as rate of descent, landing velocity, or impact velocity, and is determined by the following requirements: (1) landing personnel uninjured and ready for action, (2) landing equipment and air vehicles undamaged and ready for use or refurbishment, and (3) impacting ordnance at a preselected angle and velocity.
Descriptors : *VELOCITY, RECOVERY, SYSTEMS ENGINEERING, INDUSTRIES, AIRCRAFT, IMPACT, STRESS ANALYSIS, MATERIALS, RATES, LOW VELOCITY, ENGINEERING, SAFETY, AERODYNAMIC DRAG, ATTENUATION, PARACHUTES, ENGINEERS, UNIVERSITIES, PERSONNEL, ASSEMBLY, ORDNANCE, LEARNING, SELECTION, BOOKS, DESCENT, LANDING, GRADUATES, TEXTBOOKS.
