The '''parafoil''' is a triangular parachute in the shape of an airfoil, which is similar to the shape of airplane or the wings of a glider. Parafoils are most likely made from extremely strong materials, as some are capable of supporting the weight of an armored [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]]: approximately 1,000 pounds. The deployment package for a parafoil is known as an [[airfoil carapace]]. | The '''parafoil''' is a triangular parachute in the shape of an airfoil, which is similar to the shape of airplane or the wings of a glider.
