An aircraft ejection system is provided. The aircraft ejection system may comprise a seat, a bridle coupled to the seat, suspension lines coupled to the bridle, and a drogue canopy coupled to the suspension lines. A first side of the drogue canopy may have a lower drag than a second side of the drogue canopy. The first side may comprise a mesh portion and/or an opening to reduce drag. The first side may further include a low-resistance structure with a circular or rectangular geometry. The bridle and the suspension lines may be configured to direct the first side in a predetermined direction, such as downward.

The present disclosure provides a parachute comprising a fabric-based canopy and a crown area air inlet formed in the fabric-based canopy. The crown area air inlet may be aligned with areas of highest external pressure acting on an external surface of the canopy as the parachute inflates in order to increase a rate of inflation of the parachute.

The invention relates to a canopy, in particular for a paraglider, parachute, flexkite, or surfkite, comprising an upper sail and a lower sail as well as profile-forming ribs, characterized in that at least two different zones are formed in the canopy that have different opening and emptying times.
