Inflatable Decelerator.
Abstract
The present invention relates to a collapsible decelerator for aerial bombs launched from a high velocity vehicle and designed to provide a high drag stabilizer capable of withstanding release in air stream velocities moving at 2600 feet per second. The deceleration includes a hollow inflatable star, the outermost points of which have hooded valve openings through which regulated airflow enters and inflates the star to decelerate the munition to which it is attached.
