We're still figuring out the meaning of this term; there may have been one. It is suggestive of a variation on Fallschirm, parachute. In the aeronautical context the "Trag-" prefix often means sustaining, carrying, or supporting (rather than drag); while Schirm means a curved surface like an umbrella or lampshade.
