What are some different types of parachutes?
There are at least three different types of parachute canopy, round, triangular and square. Round canopies are what most people think of as a parachute and they are still used by the military as they are simple. Triangular or delta parachutes were and early attempt at a deployable wing, and they are rarely seen in use today. Square parachutes have top and bottom surfaces with airfoil ribs in between. They inflate to form a wing shape and are the highest performing parachute type.
