Parachutes are not rated by their speed.
A parachute works by increasing the air resistance of a suspended falling body or object. The greater the mass of the object the larger the area of the parachute must be to reduce the speed to an acceptable level.
all you have to do is Tye a sting to each corner and then Tye it to an object
It was originally Silk, I think it's Nylon now.
There are 2 types of "rip-stop" nylon used in making parachutes. One is "zero porosity", or zero P and the second is called "F-111" (I think this is a scientific number for it's porosity)
Zero porosity nylon allows no air to pass through the fabric, so when the air inflates the canopy, it makes for a more ridgid airfoil, and a more stable one as well. This is the most common material used for parachutes now.
Years ago, replacing silk, was an invention called "F-111" This nylon allows a certain amount of air to pass through it's pores, making a parachute respond at a slower rate than zero p.
Nylon. There are lots of different parachute manufacturers. They have many different kinds of canopies for many different types of skydivers- free flyers, relative work, accuracy, swooping, etc. would likely use a different rig for each. Figure out what you want to be doing, then read the ads that are geared towards that type of jump.
Drag, that's assuming it deploys, another requirement to be successful.

What was the material of the first parachute made?
The first parachute was made from silk. André-Jacques Garnerin, who invented the parachute in 1797, used a silk parachute to make successful jumps.
Does his parachute design look practical?
the parachute was made by Jake parasuit
What was the first parachute made of please I need it for school?
Blanchard developed the first foldable parachute made from silk.
The big piece of cloth on a parachute is called what?
The parachute canopy is made up of panels.
Is a parachute made of polyester?
Yes
Who made pyramid parachute?
Leonardo de Vinci
When was the first parachute made?
A parachcute is what you use in the millartary and people use them to go skydiving. And the first parachute made in 1783 by Sebastien Lenormand. And kids can play with parachutes as well.
When was Leonardo da Vinci's drawing of the parachute made?
1564
Who made the first recorded jump off a church tower with a parachute?
to find your answer, see, "Who was the first person to jump out of a church tower with a parachute on?"
What is the slowest parachute made of?
The slowest parachute is made of lightweight materials like nylon or silk, which creates more drag and slows down the descent. These materials allow for more control and precision during the parachute landing.
What type of martial is the best for a parachute?
Modern parachutes are made from nylon.
What is a the highest number of parachute jumps made by a woman?
Cheryl Sterns holds the record for being the woman with the most parachute jumps under her belt. She has made nearly 20,000 jumps as of June, 2014.
