Abstract
Each suspension line of a multi-cell gliding parachute is connected through a lower loop of a primary reinforcing tape folded over on itself. The upper overlying segments of the primary reinforcing tape extend partially across and are stitched to one side of a corresponding fabric rib connected between upper and lower fabric canopies of the parachute. The upper ends of the segments terminate below the upper canopy and are connected to a secondary reinforcing tape also stitched to the rib and spaced from the upper canopy. The upper segments of the primary reinforcing tape and the secondary reinforcing tape form a Y, T or other configuration serving to distribute the load from the suspension line without puckering or otherwise altering the preferred airfoil configuration of the upper and lower canopies.
