Parafoil or parachute

Just curious friends, are there any models of a Parafoil or parachute glider?

I’ve been brainstorming the CQ-10 snowgoose for my 1:48 UAV project.

I think it is easier you buy a kite to use as your parafoil like this :

ABC Magazine have done a couple.

I actually have one in my magazine stash! A para-glider. See below.

Issue ABC 2009-18.

Both have some complications in designing, the size of the parasail being dependent on the payload for instance. But if I can get some dimensions, than I can start laying out the model and go from there. Be interesting to see with my other UAVs for sure.
