Speed-limiting Variety
Speed-limiting drogues are single element devices. They come in several varieties of canopy shapes that are circular in shape like a big round basket. Some are built with solid fabric while others are open in design to permit water to flow through them more readily. Holes or strips are usually cut in the drogue for stability, to reduce loads on the material, or both. Currently, the speed-limiting drogue is the most commonly used storm drogue with many designs available in the market place. See also drogue parachute.

Famous quotes containing the word variety:
“If variety is capable of filling every hour of the married state with the highest joy, then might it be said that Lord and Lady Dellwyn were completely blessed, for every idea that had the power of raising pleasure in the bosom of the one, depressed that of the other with sorrow and affliction.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
