An air reefing system of the type to be used primarily in combination with a flexible flow form device. The air reefing system basically comprises a flexible flow form device construction comprising at least three skins of interrelating shape and construction to define a predetermined configuration including a plurality of Jordan clusters formed in the first and second skins and a plurality of holonomic ports formed in the third skin, in combination with air reefing enhancers disposed on the device, whereby the device is both self-inflating and self-reefing upon its exposure to the air.

An air reefing system of the type to be used in combination with a flexible flow form device, said system comprising: a first skin means of predetermined configuration; a second skin means of predetermined configuration disposed in substantially spaced apart relation from said first skin means; a plurality of third skin means disposed in interconnecting relation between said first and second skin means; at least one spor means defined by said first, second and third skin means, one end of said spor means at least partially defining a leading edge of said device, at least a portion of said spor means being closed at its opposite end to at least partially define the trailing edge of said device; a plurality of first Jordan clusters formed in said first skin means; a plurality of second Jordan clusters formed in said second skin means; a plurality of holonomic ports formed in said third skin means; a jet port means defined by at least a portion of said one spor means being open at its aft end; a jiro port means formed in said second skin means; control means operatively connected with said second skin means; and air reefing means disposed on said device, whereby said device is self-reefing upon its exposure to predetermined fluid flow.
