Need to know more information - is it a parachute packed for a paratrooper, a pilot's survival chute, a cargo chute, an emergency seat chute, or ???? But basic answer is - a pilot's chute or a paratrooper's chute would definitely be worth plenty! Cargo chutes are generally of much less collector interest.
'chute
chute
The abbreviation for parachute is "PCHT."
The skydiver pulls out a pilot chute and releases it . The pilot chute then inflates and pulls the main canopy out of the pack, allowing it to open. This is how a sports skydiver opens his main parachute. Reserve parachutes are kept closed by a small pin holding a loop closed, and pulling a ripcord connected to this pin starts the deployment process. A spring loaded pilot chute is released, which inflates and pulls out the reserve parachute in a way similar to the main chute. This system is more reliable than the process used to pack the main parachute, but it is less convenient, and takes much longer to pack.
parachute is opened to provide air which manages the slow chute
a parachute
The word "parachute" can be syllabified as "par-a-chute." It consists of three syllables: "par," "a," and "chute." Each syllable is pronounced separately, making it easier to articulate the word.
* The downward facing area of the chute * The density of the air * The mass being lowered by the chute * The integrity of the chute * The motion of the air around the chute
A parachute typically consists of a canopy (the fabric that catches the air), suspension lines (connecting the canopy to the harness), a harness (where the person or cargo is attached), and sometimes a deployment system (to release the parachute).
Some words that commonly come before "chute" are "water," "escape," "parachute," and "trash."
From the French. Para from Parasol, and Chute=fall
