How works the Parachutter™

In the inside of the main tube, there is a cone made of a non-porous, high tensile strength material. This cone is closed and connected with a C.N.C. custom-made compressed air cartridge. Once this cartridge is triggered, it instantaneously releases air inside the cone, which in turn, inflates inside the tube. A rounded plastic end cap, inside the tube, forces and ejects the parachute sleeve together with the parachute out of the main tube and clear of the aircraft
These are the advantages of the Parachutter™ in comparison with other traditional ballistic systems.

Advantages of the Parachutter™

So what are the advantages of the Parachutter™ in comparison with other traditional ballistic systems?

Simplicity: The Parachutter™ family of products, offers outstanding performance and a total simplicity, thanks to a few but very well engineered components which have a proven reliability and long lasting endurance. This simplicity makes maintenance easier and affordable

Weight: Our products are the lightest available on the market, in relation with the certified payload.

Payload: Our family of products is the first to cover the demand of automatic parachute deployment systems for payloads lower than 250Kg.

Safety: The technology used both for the special air cartridge as for the rest of the components, comply to a very strict reliability and safety requirement with regards an accidental activation for instance. As long as the manometer (gauge) indicates pressure in the green range, you can be sure that the system will work. In order to avoid a deployment on the ground, a special push-pin safety -lock systems is provided

Transportation: The Parachutter™ can be easily carried on airlines thanks to a special certificate that we provide. It is not considered dangerous, as normally all ballistic systems are. This cuts down shipping costs and increases the overall flexibility of this subsystem.

Price: The cost of our products is lower compared to similar products that use traditional rocket/ballistic technology.

Integration: Our system offers an incredible flexibility to our customers when they need to integrate and fix the Parachutter™ to different structures. Several types of fixing brackets can be provided. If you need to integrate a Parachutter™ into your UAV, you will find it supplied with a servo incorporated, and with the necessary electronics in case you want to connect it to a UAV Navigation AP04 autopilot
