The Development of Parachute Simulation in Compliance with the Requirements of Air Delivery Course of the Special Warfare School

Abstract

This research paper reports the development of parachute simulation in compliance with the requirements of Air Delivery Course of the Special Warfare School. By pointing out the achievement of research and development of the Air Delivery course, it is evident that the project achieved the goal in which the Special Warfare School issued the letter of request for the support of research and development of this kind. The simulator was designed to closely follow the system engineering concept after the investigation of the parachute type MC1-1B. The rotation load was evaluated according to the Descent Rate and force calculation. The twist calculation of force in each rope was determined, leading to the motor detailed design and selection from the Moment of Inertia calculation of rotation. The conclusion of motor selection and selection of the wire size and short circuit protection device was finalized. In addition, further studies for research and development were suggested on statistically calculated and numerical effectiveness before the system is commercially developed.
