Recovery Sysems

When we did the recovery systems lab we started by talking a little about what we waned to do. Then we cut off a square of trash bag and made some renforced holes in the corners and sides and then tied on the sand bag. after a few tests and changes we found a combination that would make the parachute glide down to the ground. The parachute was circular and it went in at the edges giving it an appearance similar to a jellyfish. after we got it to work on the hairdryer we then droped it from the top of the stairs. I wonder if it would have been even better if it was bigger? or if we had started from a circle insted of a square?
