Parachute Materials

Im looking for a wholesale manufacturer of lightweight ripstop nylon or parachute material for bulk purchase?

Could a human ever be aided to fly like a flying squirrel does?
1. Is it a matter of mass versus surface area? 2. Is the surface area magnified because of all coat of hair on the squirrel? 3. Can a small computer mimic the processing speed of the squirrel brain to calculate all stimulus regarding descent, direction, shape...? 4. Can nano technolg, for instance, help mechanically control the shape of a parachute-like item to control shape to stear direction? These and potential wind sheer forces lead me to believe that just like the Segue assumes constant "falling", the squirrel is sensative to calculate constant direction forces of wind. If so, could it be possible that in like manner something like nano-technology attached to hair-like fibers (which highly multiplied surface area beyond what parachute materials now employ) provide the means of data collection and shape-change necessary to control decent as well as steer. If so, parachute size could significantly decrease while functionality increases. 1. Is it a matter of mass versus surface area? 2. Is the surface area magnified due to its coat of body hair? 3.

If so, surface area could significantly decrease while functionality increases, without need for a parachute (as seen in Tomb Raid's bodysuit) Ooops, I thought I was editing my previous details, not duplicating them. (See last line of Details) Sorry. Just getting use to this interface. I'm aware of the jump suits for Tomb Raider or cliff diving. They are very cool, and good reference. But they require a parachute to slow and land, require dangerously high speed (and long fall) to work, and would require the human to do things that has taken the squirrel 1000's of years of brain-body evolution to coordinate. I'm imagining that like a squirrel, a body suit for most any distance, needs no parachute or 1000's of years to master. Any ideas about what are all the elements or factors needing researched, developed, coordinated?
