At the March Tripoli Colorado meeting I’ll be doing a quick tutorial on parachute design and construction – mainly focusing on the construction aspect. I’ll be briefly discussing how to construct a true hemispherical parachute, ellipsoidal parachute and a hemispherical parachute that consists of only 3 panels to reduce seams.

The math and design sheets are located at:

Hope to see you there!

We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
