Lot 269
Aviation Parachute Model (1/12 scale, about 21x11") This handmade red/white personnel parachute model is a type of C-9 parachute and has a Pull Down Vent Line designed to pull the vent down close to the level of the skirt, forcing the parachute to open faster. There are several "slits" and "triangular" openings in the red portion of the canope which accounts for about 2/3 of the canopy surface area. There is also an two added sections of white chute material on the canopy edge to apparently aide steering and/or stability. The model was tested to determine maximum inflation and steady-state drag characteristics. (Hulsizer #177.12).
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
Ex. the Red Hulsizer collection of Experimental, prototype parachutes.
