The fabrics used to manufacture parachutes and paragliders must have several specific characteristics: the mass offabric per unit of surface must be low while the other physical-mechanical characteristics (the axial breaking strengthload, the relative and absolute elongation, the tear resistance of the fabric and the assemblies, air permeability) musthave high values. The paper deals with the analysis of qualitative aspects of several parachute fabrics that are used asa baseline in the development of a novel fabric. The results of experiments have materialized in statistical data, diagramsand graphs and their interpretation leads to the determination of the fabric variant that best meets the requirements ofthe destination. The destination is a patent pending inflatable wing design that utilizes a single skin construction andsolid reinforcements in the sewing for shape stability. It is worth noting that the experimental results were compared withvalues indicated in specific international testing norms.
