“…Note that the upper-surface bleed air opening is located at approximately 0.25c back from the leading edge, where c represents the mean airfoil chord. This configuration is similar to that tested by Gavrilovski et al in [1].…”

“…In contrast with asymmetric brake deflection, symmetric brake deflection predominantly causes a reduction in forward flight speed, with small changes in system glide slope until stall [1]. Although these systems have demonstrated substantial improvement in landing accuracy over similarly sized unguided systems, their limited number of available control channels and the effectiveness and independence of each control channel makes them highly susceptible to atmospheric gusts and other unknown surface conditions.…”

“…These personnel systems used a combination of coupled control lines (trailing-edge deflection and spoilers) where the bleed air vents opened and closed to spoil the flow across the upper surface of the parachute. Higgins [13] documented the potential use of a bleed air vent system for autonomously controlled airdrop systems, and Gavrilovski et al [14] used a virtual spoiler method on a non-airdrop ram-air gliding system for both lateral and longitudinal control. Flight tests of the method [15] showed a linear glideslope change with respect to spoiler deflection and a linear dependence between the number of cells activated and the percent of glideslope change.…”
