Fruity Chutes Launches New On-Landing Parachute Release Device to Prevent Damage Caused by Wind Dragging Valuable Payload on the Ground
Los Gatos, CALIFORNIA (January 6, 2021) – Fruity Chutes, a manufacturer of recovery systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), has launched the Raven On-Landing Parachute Release (ROPR), a patent-pending device that allows a parachute to be automatically released from a payload upon landing. This mitigates potential damage caused by wind that could otherwise drag a valuable payload after landing. Unlike other on-landing release devices, the Raven On-Landing Parachute Release is designed specifically for UAV and rocketry use and is lightweight, compact, and easy to use.
