Streamer

A streamer is a variant on a parachute which uses a strip of material instead of a canopy. Some streamers have a pocket sewn in to catch air, making them more like oddly shaped parachutes. Streamers are used on small or light objects, such as model rockets, as substitutes for parachutes or to ensure the object falls in the proper attitude.
