Parachute - Wikipedia A parachute is a device designed to slow an object's descent through an atmosphere by creating drag or aerodynamic lift
Parachute | Aeronautical Safety Device | Britannica Parachute, device that slows the vertical descent of a body falling through the atmosphere or the velocity of a body moving horizontally The parachute increases the body’s surface area, and this increased air resistance slows the body in motion
How parachutes work | The science of air resistance With parachutes, it's the slowing-down effect that we want If you fall from a plane without a parachute, your relatively compact body zooms through the air like a stone; open your parachute and you create more air resistance, drifting to the ground more slowly and safely—much more like a feather
Parachute - New World Encyclopedia Parachute design has changed considerably over the years, from roughly cut shapes to aerodynamic "ram-air" parafoils Many modern parachutes are quite maneuverable and can facilitate controlled descent similar to that of a glider
How Do Parachutes Work? Understanding Parachute Mechanics | Skydive New . . . Parachutes work by catching air to slow your descent, using a system that includes a small pilot chute, an inflated canopy with cells and ribs, sliders to control deployment speed, lines and risers for steering, and a harness that connects it all
