Captive maintained aerodyne i.e. unmanned aerodyne, recovering method, involves deploying parachute during detection of failure of unit, and connecting aerodyne to launching and receiving device by exerting traction on link or cable

摘要

The method involves monitoring appearance of failure of a unit e.g. steering actuator, of a captive maintained aerodyne (10). A parachute is deployed during the detection of the failure of the unit. The aerodyne is connected to a launching and receiving device by exerting traction on a link or a cable (12). Position of suspenders of the parachute is controlled during a connection operation so as to follow a determined path at the aerodyne connected to the parachute. An independent claim is also included for an aerodyne comprising a lift propeller.
