DEVELOPMENT OF CORELESS TYPE BRAIDS FOR USE IN PERSONNEL PARACHUTE SUSPENSION LINES

摘要

The purpose of this investigation was to develop coreless type braids for use in personnel parachute suspension lines.nSpecifically the braids developed were to equal or exceed the specification minimums of strength, weight in yards per pound, and elongation of Type II and Type III cords as made under Specification MIL-C-5040A. The coreless braids developed -were to have equal or better seam efficiency, abrasion resistance, snag resistance, and energy absorption than the core and sleeve type cords.
