| In the United States, our subsidiary Pioneer continues to develop a parafoil parachute to replace the traditional hemispherical parachutes for the experimental X 38 spacecraft. |
| New parafoil applications will be developed in the future, for NASA and US Army programs. |
| Once beyond the searing heat of re-entry, it will deploy a funnel-shaped parachute and then a parafoil. |
| The box, compound, sled, delta, parafoil, and rotor are inherently stable and typically do not require tails. |
| In comparison with the current generation of GPS-guided parafoil systems, drone helicopters can achieve far better delivery accuracy, and are self-recovering. |
| The balloons will lift a capsule carrying six passengers and two crew members 20 miles up, where they will float under a parafoil for about two hours before floating back down to earth. |
