Abstract:
An aerial delivery device which includes a frame, a top skin, a bottom skin, and a core associated with the top skin, and bottom skin. The core includes a spatial arrangement of, for example, geometric cells, having a cavity defined by walls which extend at least partially between the top skin and the bottom skin. A frame that provides a substantially contiguous boarder around a perimeter of the core may be included. The present invention includes a method of assembly, maintenance, and/or repair of an aerial delivery device, wherein a top skin, a bottom skin, an aerial delivery device frame, and/or additional parts associated with aerial delivery, are associated with one another and/or the core material or replacement core material and device elements.
