The 20 pages that link to Parachute, each with the reason it gives.

• Terminal velocityRelated: Its large area sharply lowers the terminal speed of a falling skydiver.

• Risk compensationRelated: Perceived protection may alter willingness to undertake hazardous activities.

• Aerodynamic dragBroader topic: Its large area and controlled shape make drag useful for safe descent.

• DragBroader topic: Its broad area generates drag that reduces a falling body's speed.

• WingCompared with: A parachute supports descent mainly through drag rather than a wing’s lift.

• Nylon 6,6Related: Nylon 6,6 became a strong, lightweight material for parachute canopies.

• BASE jumpingNarrower topic: BASE jumping uses parachutes, but its low-altitude launches demand different equipment and timing than many parachute descents.

• Hang glidingRelated: Pilots carry reserve parachutes for emergencies that make the glider uncontrollable.

• Space capsuleRelated: Capsules deploy parachutes to reduce speed before landing or splashdown.

• AerostaticsCompared with: A parachute manages falling, whereas an aerostat generates net upward buoyant support.

• ParachutingNarrower topic: The canopy is the central device that makes a parachute descent possible.

• ColdplayBroader topic: Its intimate alternative-rock sound introduced the band to a broad audience.

• Jean-Pierre BlanchardRelated: Blanchard promoted parachute demonstrations as a way to descend safely from balloons.

• Wingsuit flyingRelated: A wingsuit flight ordinarily ends with parachute deployment for landing.

• Felix BaumgartnerRelated: Baumgartner deployed a parachute to control his descent and land safely.

• D. B. CooperRelated: Cooper requested parachutes and used one to leave the aircraft in flight.

• Franz ReicheltNarrower topic: Reichelt’s suit attempted to use a canopy to slow a falling person.

• InflatableCompared with: A parachute opens into a canopy, but usually is not kept expanded by internal gas pressure.

• ParasailingNarrower topic: Parasail canopies descend from parachute technology, though towing changes how they generate lift.

• Vasily MargelovNarrower topic: Parachute delivery was the technical basis of the airborne force he commanded.
