Design and Development of Drone Recovery System Using Parachute
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones, have become increasingly important in various fields, including aerial photography, delivery services, and surveillance. However, as drone usage has expanded, so have the risks related to system failures and accidents. Such failures can result in expensive damages and even threaten public safety. A promising way to address these risks is by implementing a drone recovery system that uses a parachute mechanism. This paper discusses the design, development, and implementation of a parachute-based recovery system for drones. It looks into the essential components of the recovery system, such as parachute selection, deployment methods, material choices, and performance testing. The goal is to improve the safety of drone operations by ensuring controlled descents during emergencies, thus minimizing the risk of crash-related damage.
