Stalling A Ram-Air

Ram-Air wings stall just like rigid wings. But with a slight difference.

They collapse.

The parachute is a Falcon 170 with a wing loading of 1.17:1. When the toggles are held down the parachute finally 'breaks' and the parachute reaches an angle of attack close to 90-degrees. The drooped trailing edge 'toothpastes' the air out of the nose causing it to collapse.

The descent rate at this moment is NOT a landable condition because the drag produced by a stalled ram-air is much less than that of a round parachute.
