The first parachute was made from silk. André-Jacques Garnerin, who invented the parachute in 1797, used a silk parachute to make successful jumps.
Most of the silk parachutes are worth a price ranging between $50 and $75. The price you can get will depend upon its condition and the age of the parachute.
Blanchard developed the first foldable parachute made from silk.

yes he invintend a square silk one
Not really, except perhaps as a sunshade (if you had something to support it on).
Parachute silk is a type of lightweight, durable fabric traditionally made from silk fibers, used primarily in the construction of parachutes. Its unique properties, such as high tensile strength and resistance to tearing, make it ideal for aerial applications. While natural silk was once the standard, modern parachutes often utilize synthetic materials like nylon or polyester, which offer similar benefits at a lower cost and with improved weather resistance. Parachute silk is also sometimes referenced in the context of fashion and textiles for its smooth texture and sheen.
Something about parachute silk...
Gravity. A parachute uses the force pushing up on a large area of silk to resist the force of gravity, allowing for a controlled descent and landing.
Possibly, but tin foil is rather fragile, and easily torn. A cotton or silk fabric would make a better, more resilient, parachute.
Silk is cool, how can a sheet give warmth anyway.
