    Abstract: A suspension line assembly for a parachute may comprise a first set of suspension lines bound together to form a first riser, and a second set of suspension lines bound together to form a second riser. A confluence may be formed by the first set of suspension line and the second set of suspension line. The confluence may comprise interior confluence suspension lines and exterior confluence suspension lines that alternate circumferentially along a perimeter of a parachute canopy.

    Abstract: A multi-staged suspension line length parachute is provided. The parachute may comprise a canopy, a suspension line, a bundle, a bundling confluence, a traditional confluence, and a riser. The parachute may also comprise a cutter and a cutter pin puller configured to activate the cutter. The bundle may comprise a bundling line configured to secure secondary length from the suspension line. The parachute may deploy to a first length. In response to tension on the cutter pin puller, the cutter may activate to sever the bundling line in the bundle, causing the secondary length of the suspension line to release. The parachute may then deploy to a second length.

    Abstract: A parachute assembly for decelerating an occupant of an ejection seat may comprise a left shoulder riser configured to be located over a left shoulder of the occupant upon deployment of the parachute assembly. A right shoulder riser may be configured to be located over a right shoulder of the occupant upon deployment of the parachute assembly. A head restraint, configured to be behind a head of the occupant upon deployment of the parachute assembly, may be located between the left and right shoulder risers.
