Abstract
By means of establishing parachute’s flying physical model, four methods (i.e. tiny segment analysis method, inflating distance method, moment method and simulating canopy shape method) are adopted to analyze and calculate the variations of canopy shape and the parameters of parachute inflation. The results are simply analyzed, and the figures of all the results are compared.
