CIMSA Ingenieria de Sistemas lead engineer Jose Francisco ZAPIRAIN gets new United States Patent on “Parachute Steering System”

A parachute steering system allows load drops to be guided until being landed on a defined target. The steering system includes an upper platform and a lower platform, joined in articulated fashion. The upper platform incorporates a device for fastening the parachute thereto, while the lower platform has a device for anchoring the load. The two platforms are connected to each other through the use of an actuator system which allows the parallelism or inclination between them to be altered, also displacing the center of gravity of the parachute-load combination, and therefore allowing the direction of the displacement of the load to be altered, as well as the speed of the same.
