Parachute Design and Performance Data Bank.
Abstract
The development and operation of a system for computer-aided design and performance analyses of parachutes is discussed. The rationale used in initial conceptual planning and in establishing the operational procedures employed is included. In addition, the mechanics involved in the information storage and retrieval tasks are presented. The data bank stores only design details and performance data which have been extracted from various sources. A FORTRAN Extended program providing highly flexible and very selective retrieval operates on the accumulated information base. Procedures for utilization of the data bank, current project status, and plans are outlined.
