It is the centre line of an area known as the wind cone, within which a parachutist must remain if he is to land on the desired point of impact. The radius of the wind cone varies with the forward speed of the canopy and the height AGL. The wind cone radius for the CT-2 canopy at 305 m is approximately 100 to 175 metres. It should be noted that the wind cone will not necessarily be a straight line, as it is affected by the changes in wind speed and direction at the various altitudes through which it passes. 1, record 2, English, - wind%20line

C'est la ligne médiane d'une zone appelée cône de direction du vent, à l'intérieur duquel le parachutiste doit rester s'il veut atterrir au point d'impact prévu. Le rayon du cône varie avec la vitesse avant de la voilure et l'altitude au-dessus du niveau du sol. Le rayon du cône de direction du vent pour la voilure CT-2 à 305 m (100 pieds) d'altitude est d'environ 100 à 175 mètres. Il y a lieu de noter que le cône n'est pas nécessairement une ligne droite; il varie suivant les changements dans la vitesse et la direction du vent, aux diverses altitudes par lesquelles il passe. 1, record 2, French, - ligne%20du%20vent

Cone penetration impact test... test in which a cone is dropped from a specified height into a horizontally held fabric specimen contained in a 6-inch-diameter California bearing ratio(CBR) mold. The size of the resulting hole is measured and qualitatively rated from one fabric to another. The test attempts to simulate the dropping of stone subbase directly on fabric. Though not an ideal test, it typifies attempts being made to assess impact resistance of construction fabrics. 3, record 3, English, - California%20bearing%20ratio%20mold
