Publisher's Synopsis
This AIAA standard establishes terminology for 260 terms critical to communication about the design and function of parachutes. It further sets requirements for the graphic description of materials, stitching, seams, view, and projections, with related dimensions and tolerances, all of which are consistent with current procurement practice. Many figures are included to illustrate the requirements. Additional illustrations of several types of parachutes are provided in an appendix. This drawing standard refers to federal and military specifications which, as of the time of this revision, are either equivalent to existing commercial specifications or are in the process of being converted to commercial specifications. The federal or military specification should be considered a reference only.
