Research Abstract	A small-scale parafoil flight experiment vehicle was constructed with an inertial and an air data sensors and a control signal recorder installed onboard. Small-scale flight experiments were carried out without influence of wind. Its flight mechanics were characterized on the basis of the onboard measured data.
