Drone and UAV Parachute Recovery

This category features our recovery products sold as bundled systems - ideal for use in UAV, Drone or other types of UAS. Here is a summary of the product types:

• Harrier Drone Parachute Launcher The Harrier product line raises the bar for high-performance, lightweight, and low-cost drone ballistic parachute launchers. Key features of the Harrier product line include:
  • Lightweight - Just 81 grams!
  • New Parachute - To have the smallest and lightest launcher possible, we developed a new line of parachutes called the "Iris Ultra Zero" parachutes.
  • High-Energy Spring - We use powerful springs to get the highest possible ejection velocity and a low weight.
  • Patent Pending Parachute Release - The Harrier family uses a new, low-profile, patent pending spring-release mechanism.
  • Ease of Use - Use a simple tool to push down the launcher piston until it clicks into place.
  • Use for Drones and Fixed Wing - The short and compact launcher makes the Harrier an ideal solution for fixed wing UAVs. All Harrier launchers feature shorter versions that can fit into low-profile fixed wing airframes.
  • Many sizes, many diameters!
• DJI Drone Parachute Bundles - These product bundles include everything you need for DJI Drones. All bundles include:
  • Parachute launcher
  • Iris Ultra Light parachute
  • Harnesses and rigging
  • MAYDAY Failsafe
• Skycat Parachute Launcher - This product assumes the UAS may be stationary and uses a lightweight, spring-loaded canister to quickly eject the parachute directly out. Ideal for multicopters or quadcopters that may hover. Choose the size based on weight. Systems are rated at 15 fps max descent speed. Each system provides:
  • Iris Ultra parachute (IFC) using Spectra shroud lines
  • Skycat parchute launcher
  • Y harnesses to provide a multi-point mount to your UAV to keep it level under descent
  • Length of webbing to attach the main parachute to the Y harness - Length approximately double the parachute diameter
  • Quick links to attach the components together

• Drone Electronics - Products specialized for the drone and UAV market. Rocketry may benefit from these products as well!

• Fixed Wing Recovery Bundle - This bundle assumes the UAV is in forward flight for deployment. Put the recovery gear below a hatch. When the hatch opens, the airflow will quickly fetch the pilot parachute, and that in turn drags the main parachute out. Choose the bundle based on your UAV weight. Systems are rated at 15 fps max descent speed. Each system provides:
  • Iris Ultra parachute (IFC) using Spectra shroud lines
  • Deployment bag sized for the main parachute
  • Elliptical pilot parachute to pull the main parachute out of the recovery bay
  • Y harness to provide a 2 point mount to your UAV at the Cg
  • Length of nylon webbing to attach the main parachute to the Y harness - Length approximately double the parachute diameter
  • Length of smaller nylon webbing to attach the pilot parachute to the deployment bag. Length is approximately double the parachute diameter
  • Quick links to attach the components together

• Peregrine UAV Ballistic Parachute - The Peregrine UAV is a rapid deployment ballistic launcher using a parachute canister system for maximum packing density. Applications include fixed wing and larger multicopters. Read more about the Peregrine UAV. Each system provides:
• Iris Ultra Compact or Ultralight parachute with Spectra shroud lines
• Hawk CO2 Release Valve to initiate deployment
• Carbon fiber parachute canister with cap
• User-friendly twist lock base
• Y harness - serves as a 4 point mount to the UAV
• Length of nylon webbing (approx. double parachute diameter) for attaching the parachute to the Y harness
• Quick links for attaching components
• Accessory kit with assembly tools
• Custom Designed Systems - We can customize a system if you're looking for something different from our available bundles!
