Thanks for the guide link, Adam. I must say it's a pretty clever system. Particularly impressive is that the parachute still remains effective when deployed as low as 500 feet and at speeds of up to 187 knots, producing a vertical descent speed of just 17 knots combined with undercarriage and structural crumple zones to absorb virtually all of that vertical impact force.

Certainly better than hitting something at the 60 kts stall speed on a glide-in.
