cargo parachute

A cargo parachute is a specialized type of parachute used to deliver supplies or equipment from the air to the ground safely. Unlike standard parachutes designed for people, cargo parachutes are often larger and sturdier to accommodate heavier loads. They deploy during flight and slow the descent of cargo, ensuring it lands gently and accurately, minimizing damage. These parachutes are commonly used in military operations, disaster relief efforts, and remote area supply drops, allowing for efficient transportation of essential goods without the need for landing.
