| dc.description.abstract | A method is described performing the following. With a parafoil's control unit composed of electronic circuitry, While the control unit is being transported. With a parafoil: calculating a desired landing location for a parafoil, the desired land ing location corresponding to a moving target, the calculating including using a term representative of the moving target’s velocity; determining a flight path to the desired landing location; and, controlling the parafoil’s flight path so as to follow the flight path. | en_US |
