Tis been many decades (plural) since my last time of having
"air under my boots". So I know nothing about this 'chute.
I don't like the configuration/shape. Looks too prone to
folding in on itself. I see no thrust cuts. Looks like a
straight drop. But I suppose the Army has put the correct
amount of design and testing into it. And the Army ~never~
has any FUBARS or SNAFUS.
Thanks for posting this John. I will research it for S&grins.
