Preliminary study on the aerodynamics of parafoils

This project presents a basic wind tunnel investigation on aerodynamics of ram-air parafoils. Previous studies are summarized through detailed literature reviews, and key parameters for a generic parafoil such as airfoil shape, inlet opening cut, arc-anhedral angle, chord and aspect ratio, and cells...
