High-Speed Schlieren Movies of the Flow About Reefed Parachute Models Towed at Supersonic Speeds Behind a Conical Body (4.875 Inches in Diameter). Drag Values Based on the Unreefed Diameter of 1.73 F. Porosity of Unreefed Parachute is 28 Percent.Flexible parachute models reefed to one-eighth, one-fourth, one-third, and four tenths of its diameter were towed at speeds of Mach 1.80, 2.00, 2.20 and 2.87. Towline lengths tested were 23.40, 24.38, 26.81, and 29.25 inches. High-speed Schlieren movies of the flow are shown.
