Parachute

A parachute is a large screen, made of fabric, intended to increase drag and thereby reduce the fallspeed of a person or object suspended from it. Parachutes can be used both to increase the chance of survival for the crew of aircraft, and to safely deliver people and cargo from the air without the need to land. In Continuum, each side has its own parachute design and many, though not all, infantry units (and even some vehicles) are equipped with, or make use of, parachutes.
