METHOD OF AUTOMATIC GUIDANCE OF GLIDING PARACHUTE SYSTEM IN REGION OF TARGET POINT OF LANDING Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: aeronautical engineering, automatic delivery of cargoes to target point of landing by means of gliding parachute systems. SUBSTANCE: zone of turn is assigned above target point of landing; before approach of parachute system to this zone, flight course to target point of flight is maintained and after approach, parachute system is turned to course "from target point"; after parachute system is out of zone of turn, flight course to target point is maintained again. When these manoeuvres are performed several times, parachute system is brought downwind from target point of landing with no use of complex navigational aids. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 1 dwg
