Talking About Canopy Flight Characteristics

In this video, we talk about canopy flight characteristics for skydiving parachutes. There's a "language" we use when talking about canopy flight characteristics, and this video talks about all that goes into it. "Girl's Can't Fly Parachutes" (Spoiler Alert: they can) is a tongue-in-cheek title to the challenges that smaller people have when being put on small parachutes that are 1.0 wing loaded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8INJxZEo4Ww "Canopy Trim" is another video in my series on skydiving gear, talking about what canopy trim is and its affect on flight characteristics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebUi4oMCMig
