Abstract
An improved cruciform parachute being radially constructing having a canopy which is hemispherically-shaped with an apex at the uppermost portion thereof. A plurality of panels extend vertically from adjacent the apex to a lower canopy edge. Each panel includes an upper panel section and a lower panel section with an intermediate edge therebetween. A plurality of open sections are defined by the lower panel sections of certain of the panel members in order to define a plurality of gores. These gores are diametrically opposite from other similarly shaped gores with each cruciform parachute having four such gores. Each gore is preferably defined by two adjacent panel members having lower panel sections defining open sections therein. Preferably the intermediate edge immediately above two adjacent lower panel members which are open will be inclined upwardly toward one another to form a conventional cruciform parachute gore but with a radial construction.
