Great Photo That Shows how a Parafoil Works

Here's a great photo that I found on Flickr that show how a parafoil operates.  Remember, a parafoil kite is simply a bunch of opened bags or cells sewn together.  Once air enters the cells they inflate and this give the kite structure and ultimately lift.  In the photo you can clearly see the open end of the parafoil cells.  You may have to click through to see the photo.
