Answer:

Parachute works horribly, don't do it(I did it for my egg drop and my egg got destroyed) Instead make a cylinder with foil/paperThe diameter should fit egg snuglyStuff tons of cushiony stuff in the bottom half of the cylinderRoll up a wad of the cushiony stuff and wrap it around the cylinderInsert eggDo some test dropsAdjust the bottom so the cylinder doesn't tip over when dropped.
Find what power is left to be useful by multiplying the supplied power to the efficiency 6300 x 0.88 x 0.42 2328.48 force mass x acceleration 425 kg x 9.81 m/s^2 4169.25 N work force x distance power work / time if we combine the two and isolate distance / time, we get power force x velocity 2328.48 4169.25 x velocity 2328.48 / 4169.25 0.5585 m/s - answer
