Drag coefficient of 20-degree conical ribbon parachuteAn empirical formula for the steady-state drag coefficient of a 20-degree conical ribbon parachute is developed. The derived expression takes into account the effect of suspension line length and geometric porosity within the limits of practical design. Also included are factors which provide drag reduction due to skirt reefing and the wake behind a primary body. The calculated values are in agreement with the available experimental results.
