🍃 🪂 🧪 Parachute Design Using the Art of Kirigami

"Unlike conventional parachutes that require a gliding angle for vertical stability and fall at random far from a target, our kirigami-inspired parachutes always fall near the target"

Nature Portfolio @natureportfolio.nature.com · 6d

A paper in Nature shows that parachute designs inspired by kirigami — the Japanese art of paper cutting to produce 3D designs — are stable and fall close to their target. These findings could simplify parachute manufacturing, reduce costs, and improve accuracy. go.nature.com/473OMmK 🧪

If our President has such a problem with Americans and the American way of life that he needs to fight us with the US Army, then let’s have at it. Bomb us. You have the nuclear codes, do it. Put your money where your big fat mouth is.

I don’t know what I pay federal taxes for if it’s going towards an army that’s going to attack fellow Americans.
