I heard something similar, reading this article it looks like this technology is pretty old and unstable. It was created by British army but then dismissed because it could become dangerous.

Reading that article, I'm no more enlightened than I was 5 minutes ago. The article contains no useful factual information, and reads like it's fiction.

I agree.

However I have worked on stabilization and drag devices for aerospace vehicles that used drag devices other than parachutes - especially during hypersonic flight - for more than 4 decades.
