Abstract

The life-saving equipment for unmanned air vehicles includes a container with an opening, a parachute, consisting of a parachute canopy, suspension lines and a harness, where the parachute can be folded inside the container, a stopper which divides the inner space of the container into the combustion chamber and the storage chamber for storing the parachute, where the storage chamber is arranged between the stopper and the container opening and where the stopper is designed to be slid out of the container through the opening, and a gas pyro actuator placed in the combustion chamber and connectable to the activation line.

Claims (20)
