A technique has been developed for use in the continuous flow, supersonic Tunnel A of the von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility to obtain drag and performance data on flexible decelerators deployed behind models in free flight. The technique is described, and drag data obtained on two parachute configurations are compared with data obtained using a strut-supported model. (Author)
