In harsh weather conditions, the parachute canopy may remain filled with air after landing, dragging and potentially damaging the air vehicle. Our parachute release system is built to provide an effective and reliable solution for this problem. Our unique patented system is easy to operate and cost effective. Specific innovation is in the parachute to air vehicle connection and the system that immediately disconnects the air vehicle from the parachute upon impact with the ground. The device is simple and very reliable as it is a light-weight mechanical solution with no electronic parts. The maximum UAV operation weight for the device is 50kg. Custom release systems can be designed according to clients specific UAV needs.
