当今翼伞技术的发展

文中介绍近几年国外针对翼伞阻力特性对翼伞翼型结构等方面所作的改进。这些改进不仅应用在运动翼伞上,而且还应用在常规翼伞上,文中还介绍了大面积翼伞的研究情况,当前已把翼伞的回收重量提高到16.3t,翼伞面积已达1000m~2,所有这些表明翼伞的发展非常迅速,对民用及国防建设有重大意义。

DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARAFOIL AT PRESENT

This paper introduces mainly the development of parafoil form for improvement of the drag performance abroad recently. The significant improvements have been applied to not only sport canopies but also normal parafoil. The development of the large scale parafoil is also described. At present the payload weight has been increased up to 16.30 t, the canopy area up to 1000 m2, which indicates that the development of parafoil is very rapid and is of significance to civil and military applications.
