chute

If the chute is clogged with garbage I'll be fined?

Kevin Rose might have got paid, but Digg is going down the chute.

Like a smart bomb, it uses tailfin guidance to home in on your phone, popping a 'chute at the end.

Do you have a video camera watching me put garbage in the chute?

Done it; loved everything before the chute opened.

There's a lot of emergencies you can handle without having to pop the chute in an aircraft.

There have also been many incidents where the chute was used, and the plane eventually flew again.

The rocket explodes, a massive shockwave of expanding gas gets pushed down the chute into the middle room.

She started to describe it to me, an educational game where you controlled a penguin who dropped letters down a chute to form words.

For example, Orion's crew vehicle had budgeted 2 aeroplane parachute drop tests.

As I was told when taking flight lessons and being introduced to this system, it's a device of absolute last resort, since you lose all control of the aircraft once you pop that chute.

On Apollo 15 reentry, one of the 3 parachutes failed, the first and only recorded failure of an apollo chute during operations.

It was traced back to being because the landing module thrusters had vented their fuel out before landing, but this had ignited on the still hot nozzles on the way out, causing a load of burning fuel to go fly up into the chute and destroy it.

All the Mars landers the USA have landed so far have used disc-gap-band parachutes of the same design and size that were explored in a set of very expensive and extensive tests performed at high altitudes for the 70s Viking Lander.

Bigger but this [1] test by Armadillo was more impressive in my opinion for the additional complexity involved in cutting the engine deploying a chute then cutting the chute and successfully landing from a turbulent freefall.
