A device for slowin' t' descent o' a rocket, sometimes used in place o' a parachute in smaller rockets. T' streamer consists o' one or more long, narrow lengths o' plastic, fabric or paper which are connected t' t' rocket in t' same fashion as a parachute, me hearties, and which deploy and flutter t' slow and stabilize t' fallin' rocket. Avast! Since streamers do nay slow t' descent as much as a parachute, they are normally only used on relatively small or very robustly-built model rockets. Begad! However, they are useful in windy conditions since they will nay allow t' descent t' drift as much as a parachute will.
