  • By your own statement this is a "ram-air cargo parafoil" not a paraglider. I am sure it is very noteworthy science, but quite meaningless to paraglider pilots.

  • This is amazing - could you tell me what software (or softwares) you used to determine the inflated shape?

    Many thanks - Philip . . .
