METHOD OF LANDING OF UNMANNED FLYING VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B64F1/00 B64F1/18 

FIELD: methods of landing of super-light unmanned aerodynamic flying vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: prior to flight, electronic guidance equipment is mounted on flying vehicle. Ground landing equipment and landing platform with landing appliance are placed on landing area. During landing approach of unmanned flying vehicle, it is brought to landing area according to preset trajectory, thus slowing it down and ensuring its arrival to point of mechanical contact with landing appliance, after which kinetic energy of unmanned flying vehicle is fully killed and it is freed from landing appliance. Prior to flight, contact tape is bonded to lower section of fuselage surface; front side of this tape is coated with loop-like mono-threads with side cut which perform function of hooks. Video guidance is used as electronic guidance equipment of unmanned flying vehicle. Vertical pole is used as landing platform. Landing appliance made in form of sphere is secured on upper end of pole. Surface of said landing appliance is coated with contact tape whose front surface is provided with loop-like mono-threads for fastening with mono-tape of flying vehicle contact tape. Used as ground landing equipment are optical sources located on landing area and spaced apart. Their signals are used for homing guidance of unmanned flying vehicle for mechanical contact with upper hemisphere of landing appliance.

EFFECT: enhanced probability of keeping the flying vehicle intact.
