In , on a road near what is now St. Petersburg, Russia, inventor Gleb Yevgeniyevich Kotelnikov accelerated a Russo-Balt automobile to top speed and then opened a braking parachute attached to the back seat. By the s, this innovation—the drogue, or drag parachute—would be used in Soviet airplanes landing on small ice floes in the Arctic. By the '60s, drag racers like Don "Big Daddy" Garlits used drogues to slow their nitromethane-fueled racecars at the end of the drag strip.
The Military Comes Around. It took a lot of convincing before the U. Some generals thought the parachute would make pilots more apt to ditch a battle-damaged aircraft than to "ride it out.
Parachutes were an integral part of the Allied invasion on D-Day. However, 's Operation Market Garden, the largest airborne operation in history up to that time, did not succeed. Twenty thousand Allied troops parachuted into occupied Holland along with 14, more who came on engineless gliders. A week later, the Allies had captured some key bridges but had largely failed to penetrate the Axis lines.
The battle was the subject of the epic war film A Bridge Too Far. Cargo Drops. By the end of World War II, militaries were frequently using parachutes, along with cushioning materials of various types, to drop heavy cargo. The big challenge of cargo drops has always been balancing accuracy against the need to protect the payload during landing.
If the chute drops too fast it could damage the goods, but a slower, safer drop increases the time for the cargo to drift off the mark. Using parachutes singly and in clusters, the setup can gently deliver payloads of up to 30 tons from aircraft to earth. The Parafoil. Domina Jalbert, a kite-maker, invented the parafoil or ram-air parachute in the mids. It's a soft, inflatable wing that traps air between two rectangularly shaped membranes, sewn together at the trailing edge and sides but open at the leading edge.
It can be steered much more easily than a circular parachute, and confers lighter impact on landing. By the '70s, it had become extremely popular.
