Modern methods of parachute rescue system testing

Pejchar J., Hájek T.
pages 665 - 668, full text

This paper presents an improved free-flight testing method applicable to parachute systems used by rescue systems. The method as described allows parachute testing in the speeds and for payloads over the limits acceptable for available testing platforms. Based on an algorithm with the approach for achieving demanded speed, it also includes a design of instrumented parachute testing vehicle. Both methods with the algorithm and testing vehicle were evaluated by airdrop tests and their features have been successfully proved..
