Parachute design has changed considerably over the years, from roughly cut shapes to aerodynamic "ram-air" parafoils. Many modern parachutes are quite maneuverable and can facilitate controlled descent similar to that of a glider.

Parachute, device that slows the vertical descent of a body falling through the atmosphere or the velocity of a body moving horizontally. The parachute increases the body’s surface area, and this increased air resistance slows the body in motion.

This article delves into the physics governing parachute deployment and operation, exploring the forces involved and the technological advancements that have shaped modern parachute design.
A parachute is an object that slows either vertical or horizontal motion by creating either atmospheric drag or aerodynamic lift. The construction materials of a parachute must be light and strong, and can be manufactured into a variety of shapes. The load can be anything that needs to be slowed.
