FIELD: parachute technique delivery of cargoes to hard-to-get-at areas. SUBSTANCE: parachute has canopy base made from straight gores, load-bearing skeleton made from mutually perpendicular tapes and lines which are secured on edge of canopy at one end and are interconnected at other end. provision is also made for device reducing the dynamic load which is made in form of clamp embracing the canopy; this clamp consists of radial and circular tapes interconnected together. Ends of radial tapes of clamp are brought to point of connection of ends of lines; length of section of radial tapes from above-mentioned point as far as lower edge of canopy is shorter than length of lines by 8 to 10%. Connection of radial and circular tapes of clamp with tapes of load-bearing skeleton is made in at least five points of their intersection by means of clips or ties. EFFECT: increased absorption of dynamic load exerted on parachute. 5 cl, 2 dwg
