Processes

There are several major processes that occur in nearly every parachute use. These are
Activation
opens the container and allows for pilot chute ejection into the airstream
Deployment
orderly unfolds a parachute to minimize forces and decrease the probability of a malfunction
Inflation
fills the parachute with air to provide the required lift and drag
Reefing
controls or limits inflation
Release
allows a parachute to separate from the payload or person
Steering
allows a parachute system to be guided to a specific location

Some uses, such as para-sailing, do not have a deployment or reefing process.

Check back soon for more information on these processes.
