Comparison of the Accuracy and Applicability of Forebody Wake Effect Models for Parachute System Design

Creator:

Kemling, Gabriel H. and Blunck, David L.

Abstract:

The forebody wake effect (FWE) is important to consider when designing parachute systems because it can affect parachute performance. Parachutes work by altering the aerodynamic properties of an attached forebody to control a descent. The FWE can reduce parachute drag, causing the system to descend faster than desired. This drag...
