Summary

A stress analysis of a fully inflated ribless guide surface parachute is presented. The method ia an extension of an earlier publication, which is applicable to the transient state of inflation. However, in view of the normal use of ribless guide surface parachutes, the transient phase is considered to be less important since for the so-called infinite mass cases, the maximum force is considered to occur when full inflation is reached. In general, this analysis can be applied to most canopies having non-triangular gore patterns. A numerical calculation is made for a 12-gore ribless guide surface parachute over a range of pressure loadings, canopy sizes, and cloth types representing practical application.
