The T200 Emergency Recovery Parachute System is a specialized safety solution for drones, engineered to protect UAVs and mitigate risks during critical failures. Designed for reliability even when a drone’s primary systems fail, it combines autonomous monitoring with rapid deployment to ensure controlled emergency landings.
1. Core Design & Working Principle
Autonomous Monitoring: Equipped with high-precision sensors that independently track flight metrics (altitude, speed, stability), detecting anomalies like engine failure without relying on the drone’s controller. This independence ensures functionality even if the UAV’s systems are compromised.
Emergency Deployment Sequence: Upon detecting a critical failure, the system triggers autonomous ballistic deployment in <0.5 seconds:i. The rugged carbon-fiber enclosure releases the parachute.ii. The canopy inflates rapidly (1.2–2.0s, depending on model).iii. The drone descends at a controlled rate (5–5.5 m/s), minimizing impact risk.
Independence & Safety: Operates separately from the drone’s electronics, guaranteeing performance even if the UAV’s systems fail.
2. Key Features & Advantages
Rapid Response: A reliable algorithm with <0.5s response time ensures deployment before critical altitude loss, crucial for low-altitude operations.
Pedestrian & Property Protection: Controlled descent rates (equivalent to a 1.3–1.5m fall) reduce injury and damage risks during landing.
Rugged & Lightweight: Carbon-fiber enclosure balances durability with minimal weight (0.72–4.0kg), avoiding compromise to UAV flight performance or endurance.
Broad Compatibility: Supports drones weighing 25–200kg, with tailored models (T200-15 to T200-200) matching specific UAV weights.
Compliance & Traceability: Includes black box functionality for post-mission analysis, meeting safety regulatory requirements.
Environmental Resilience: Operates in -20~60℃ temperatures with IP55 protection, adapting to industrial, urban, or outdoor environments.
3. Model-Specific Highlights
All T200 models share core features—autonomous activation, compatibility with CAN/RS-232/PWM protocols, and a 2-year service life—with variations tailored to UAV weight classes:
Light UAVs (15–35kg): Models like T200-15/25/35 feature compact dimensions (Φ169mm diameter) and fast 1.2s deployment, ideal for small industrial drones (e.g., inspection, agriculture).
Medium UAVs (50–100kg): T200-50/75/100 include larger canopies (15.3–26.9㎡) and slightly higher minimum deployment altitudes (35–45m), suited for logistics or commercial inspection drones.
Heavy UAVs (125–200kg): T200-125/150/200 offer expanded canopies (32.5–62㎡) and 1.5–2.0s deployment, designed for large industrial or cargo drones.
