Square-Round
Similar to a traditional round parachute, this is just square in shape. It does not have a central vent but rather one on each corner. Great descent rate and small packsize make this a great option for rescue parachutes.
Hung from the mid-point it does have a lot of flap so not suitable for balloon recovery.
