drogue
Drag-inducing chute
A drogue is a device dragged behind something to slow it down or provide stability.
In aviation, a drogue parachute deploys to decelerate aircraft on landing or stabilize cargo drops.
At sea, a drogue is a cone-shaped canvas bag towed behind a boat to prevent capsizing in heavy weather.
In aerial refueling, the drogue is the funnel-shaped receptacle that receives the probe from the aircraft being refueled.
