"Do you use parachutes?"
"Yes, we use one in the front and one in the back. The one in the back also serves as a handy diaper."

"Yellow" is a song by the British #rock band #Coldplay. The band wrote the song and co-produced it with British record producer #KenNelson for their debut album, #Parachutes (2000). The song was released on 26 June 2000 as the second UK single from Parachutes, following "Shiver", and as the #leadSingle in the United States in November 2000. "Yellow" reached number four on the #UKSinglesChart, giving #Coldplay their first top-five hit in the United Kingdom.

Kirigami Parachutes
In kirigami, careful cuts to a flat surface can morph it into a more complicated shape. Researchers have been exploring how to use this in combination with flow; now they’ve created a new form of parachute. Like a dandelion seed, this parachute is porous, with a complex but stable wake structure. This allows the parachute to drop directly over its target, unlike conventional parachutes, which require a glide angle to avoid canopy-collapsing turbulence.
When dropping conventional parachutes, users either have to tolerate random landings far off target or invest in complicated active control systems that guide the parachute. Kirigami parachutes, in contrast, offer a potentially simple and robust option for accurately delivering, for example, humanitarian aid. (Image and research credit: D. Lamoureux et al.; via Physics World)

"Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, researchers in Canada and France have designed a parachute that can safely and accurately deliver its payloads when dropped directly above its target. Tested in realistic outdoor conditions, the parachute’s deformable design stabilizes the airflow around its porous structure, removing the need to drift as it falls."

This is not new of course, and many attempts to urge the govt to act on this rort have gone to the graveyard. After all, asking #politicians to cut out a lucrative side hussle post Parliamentary duties is never going to happen. That ex-polies get a job is expected of course. That these jobs might entail executive level positions in companies with govt contracts is par for the course. But finding their way into highly remunerated #political #lobbies, that, in my view, is a red line not to be crossed (it’s the shortest step from there to govt corruption).
This report will go nowhere, as others have before it. No govt will push through legislation to curtail the power of #Lobbyists. The only way to change the rules on golden #parachutes is to fight for it in the Courts, Constitutional or otherwise. And who is ever going to mount such an assault on the #PoliticalClass?
“The bad news, for the rest of us, is that a favoured career path for ex-pollies involves peddling influence for powerful clients with their former colleagues, often behind closed doors. Lobbying has become big business.”

I've just posted possibly the geekiest video I've ever made. After a convo/meeting a while ago with Mads from #CopenhagenSuborbitals, I had a vision of a decent CAD approach to design, testing and manufacture of their ballute parachute design, so I just made a quick video stepping through it using @FreeCAD and @inkscape However, it's generally of use to people making complex 3D stuff from fabric! #sewing #parachutes #rocketry #opensource Video is here on my @MakerTube https://makertube.net/w/sV4ojsVKcDQ1umShPssVft
