Parachute landing of unmanned aircraft

摘要

In an unmanned craft with a tail end propeller the improvement of a parachute landing system for causing the craft to land while being suspended by a parachute of the system; the fuselage for the craft has a rearwardly, laterally and, thus, asymmetrically arranged opening leading into a storage compartment for a pilot and a principal parachute system; a flap normally closes the opening but being openable and pivotable in outward direction about an axis being at least approximately vertical to the horizontal disposition of the craft and for about 135 DEG ; a cable locks and limits the outward pivoting of the flap, acting as a rudder to steer the craft for 180 DEG during parachute deployment.
