244139000 | Entire aircraft | 11 |
20080296434 | Parachute-Landing Device for Whole Airplane - A parachute-landing device for whole airplane, comprising at least one parachute compartment ( | 12-04-2008 |
20090050744 | AIRCRAFT WITH EMERGENCY LANDING SYSTEM - An aircraft has an emergency landing system which includes a paraglider for the emergency landing phase of the aircraft and an attitude positioning parachute for decelerating and subsequently swiveling the aircraft with respect to the flight direction. The vertical axis essentially corresponds to the direction of pull from the attitude positioning parachute. | 02-26-2009 |
20090173829 | Safety pre-impact deceleration system for vehicles - A safety pre-impact deceleration system for a variety of conveyances includes a parachute structure formed from air bags inflated with gas. Alternatively, the parachute structure includes a canopy with orifices. Air spaces in the parachute structure or orifices in the canopy have adjustable and selective dimensions to control the operational parameters of the vehicle. The system includes sensors and rapid exposure rate cameras with continuous loop recording to measure operational parameters of the vehicle and to predict possible collision. Once a collision condition is detected, audio/video images are stored on storage media. The air bags are deployed and inflated. In addition to air bags constituting the parachute structure, a plurality of air bags are provided to be deployed external the vehicle to aid in a safe landing. | 07-09-2009 |
20100176246 | Intelligent Ballistic Parachute System that Performs Pre-activation and/or Post-activation Actions - An aircraft, the aircraft including a whole-aircraft ballistic parachute that is coupled to the aircraft. The aircraft determines if a pre-activation action needs to be performed before activation of the whole-aircraft ballistic parachute. The aircraft also receives a whole-aircraft ballistic parachute activation request. The aircraft then issues a command to perform the pre-activation action and then activates the deployment of the whole-aircraft ballistic parachute. The aircraft then issues a command to perform a post-activation action. | 07-15-2010 |
20130175398 | Airplane parachute - An improved airplane safety system which does not require wearing of individual parachutes and does not reduce the cabin space available for passengers, luggage, cargo, etc., yet which enables the entire airplane to be safely lowered to the ground when an emergency occurs said system comprising plurality of parachutes mounted at the center of the airplane body and adjacent the wing tips and the front and rear of the fuselage which, when activated, deploy simultaneously or individually, as desired, to enable the entire airplane to float safely down to a soft and safe landing or to provide additional speed or directional controls. | 07-11-2013 |
20130221159 | Aircraft parachute with bowden cables energized by the dynamic shock of the canopy - From the dynamic shock of the parachute canopy applied to an aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicle-(UAV) in an emergency, there is unlimited mechanical force available for exploitation through Bowden cables connected to the ends of the parachute straps, and transfer of the force in the form of a pull onto the emergency safety systems of the aircraft for the safety of passengers, and onto the aerial vehicle-(UAV). | 08-29-2013 |
20140284427 | HANDLE FOR DUAL MODE AIRBORNE VEHICLE LANDING - An apparatus for reorientation of an airborne vehicle during decent employs a handle rotatably attached to the airborne vehicle and connected to a parachute. Once the parachute is deployed, rotation of the handle reorients a deck angle of the airborne vehicle with respect to the parachute. | 09-25-2014 |
20150008287 | Spacecraft's parachutes with straps for compensating the oscillations - Spacecraft's ( | 01-08-2015 |
20160144958 | TETHERED AERIAL SYSTEMS FOR DATA GATHERING - A tethered unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) may be outfitted with a sensor payload for data gathering. The tethered UAV may be tethered to a ground station for constricting the flight space of the UAV while also providing the option for power delivery and/or bidirectional communications. The tethered UAV's flight path may be extended by introducing one or more secondary UAVs that cooperate to extend the horizontal flight path of a primary UAV. The ground station, which may be coupled with the tethered aerial vehicle, may comprise a listening switch configured to determine a condition of the tether such that the supply of power to the tether may be terminated when tether damage or a tether severance is detected. | 05-26-2016 |
20170233086 | AIRCRAFT PARACHUTE SYSTEM UTILIZING AIRBAG TO ASSIST WITH PARACHUTE DEPLOYMENT | 08-17-2017 |
20170233087 | BRIDLE FOR AIRCRAFT PARACHUTE DEPLOYMENT ROCKET | 08-17-2017 |
