Configuring landing supports for landing on uneven terrain

摘要

A system for configuring landing supports of a load to land on uneven terrain includes a terrain sensor configured to detect a terrain characteristic of the uneven terrain. The system further includes landing supports configured to support the load upon landing. The system also includes a support control device operatively coupled to the landing supports, and a landing support control computer that is operatively coupled to the terrain sensor, landing supports, and support control device. The landing support control computer may determine if landing on the uneven terrain is allowable, based on the terrain characteristic and a load characteristic of the load. Upon determining that landing on the uneven terrain is allowable, the support control device configures the landing supports for landing on the uneven terrain.

1. A computer-implemented method for landing on uneven terrain, comprising:
detecting with a landing support control computer uneven terrain below a load descending for landing; and in response to detecting the uneven terrain, provide instructions from the landing support control computer to a support control device operatively coupled to at least one landing support of the load to configure the at least one landing support of the load.
