🎥 Check this out! A series of clips from different angles and at different speeds showing parachute extraction tests using a NASA/JPL test rig powered by compressed air. The lid of the parachute assembly is pulled along a suspended cable at high speed while the end of the assembly is fixed to a wall. When the release mechanism is activated, the parachute bag is pulled away from the parachute at the target speed, mimicking the extraction as it will be on Mars. At the highest speeds, the tests en

sciencespher on Instagram: "A parachute ejection process, whether for skydiving or aircraft, involves a sequence using a small pilot chute or a gas charge to deploy the main canopy, creating drag to slow descent, with mechanisms like deployment bags, bridles, and sometimes explosives (ejection seats) or compressed gas (rockets) to extract and inflate the parachute for a safe landing. For Skydiving (Aerodynamic Deployment) 1. Pilot Chute Deployment: The skydiver throws a small pilot chute, which

Hidden Nature Verse🦅 on Instagram: "The Fort Bragg airshow disaster occurred during a LAPES (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System) demonstration involving a C-130E Hercules aircraft. This maneuver is designed to quickly deliver heavy cargo to the ground by parachute while the aircraft flies extremely low. During the 1987 demo, the aircraft flew dangerously close to the ground when the load failed to release properly. The sudden shift in weight and low altitude left the crew with no time to

Wingman Tactical on Instagram: "🚀 LAPES Operation – C-130 Hercules in Action! 🇺🇸✈️ The Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System (LAPES) is a high-risk, high-precision technique used by the C-130 Hercules to rapidly deliver heavy cargo in combat zones or disaster-stricken areas where landing is impossible. 🔹 How It Works: 1️⃣ The C-130 flies at extremely low altitudes (as low as 5-10 feet above the ground). 2️⃣ The aircraft's rear cargo ramp is opened mid-flight. 3️⃣ A parachute deploys, pull

Haiki - History as i know it. on Instagram: "LAPES (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System) is a military airlift technique developed during the Vietnam War (1967) for delivering heavy cargo when landing isn’t possible. A cargo plane sometimes descends to just 2 meters above the ground, deploys an extraction parachute, and the wind force yanks the payload —sometimes even tanks—out of the aircraft. C-130 is have done many cool stunts, it even landed on an Aircraft carrier. I have written A FREE
