Development and Evaluation of a Parachute Recovery System for the B-1 Aircraft Flight Data Recorder.

Abstract

Evaluation of a contractor designed parachute recovery system for the B-1 Crash Data Recorder/Crash Position Indicator (CDR/CPI) resulted in a 45-inch diameter solid flat canopy design effort by the ASD Parachute Branch at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The recovery system performance was evaluated through a series of static deployment tests, low speed helicopter airdrop tests at Wright-Patterson AFB, and high speed deployment tests conducted at the Whirl Tower Facility located at the National Parachute Test Range, El Centro, California.
