ABSTRACT An inflation-controlled parachute comprises an extended flexible structure for providing an aerodynamic drag-producing sur- face, and an inflation-control line for controlling the rate at which the flexible structure unfolds from a stowed configuration to an inflated configuration. One end of the inflation-control line is secured to the flexible structure, and the remainder of the inflation-control line is threaded through positioning rings atta- ched to the flexible structure so that one segment of the inflation-control line overlies another segment thereof in fric- tional engagement therewith. Frictional engagement of the two segments of the inflation-control line occurs as the flexible structure inflates, thereby controlling the rate of inflation of the flexible structure.
