How does the shape of a parachute affect how long it stays in the air?

Hey' I just did an experiment for grade 11 physics that i designed where i investigated the shape and size of the parachute. The shape of the parachute doesn't effect how long it stays in the air much. The main thing that the shape effects is the stability and the less stable the parachute the faster the person will fall. That is why parachutes are in that banana rectangle shape so that there is more stability to glide through the air, like a bird. As the shape changes how much drag there is. Circles are pure drag and take the longest to fall. McPhysics
