Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/009254
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for deploying an airbag when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has failed or is no longer able to sustain flight, comprising a triggering means which releases compressed air into a bag or bags which are configured to expand around the UAV for the purpose of reducing the deceleration forces of the UAV on impact. UAV's are provided that are configured with a system that includes a triggering mechanism that deploys one or more bags when there is a failure or when flight is no longer sustainable.
