METHOD OF LANDING SUPERLIGHT UNMANNED FLYING VEHICLES Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B64C25/32 B64C29/00 

FIELD: aviation industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of landing of unmanned flying vehicles particularly, superlight unmanned flying vehicles, mass not exceeding one kilogram, furnished with electronic observation, navigation and flight control devices. According to proposed method, before beginning of flight, beacon transmitter with impact sensor is installed on unmanned flying vehicle made for fixing moment of contact of unmanned flying vehicle with ground at switched off power unit, and horizontal flight of unmanned flying vehicle overland is carried out. Unmanned flying vehicle is directed to landing area according to preset program or by remote control from ground. After bringing unmanned flying vehicle into landing area, its power unit is switched off and fall of unmanned flying vehicle under gravity is provided. At moment of contact of unmanned flying vehicle with ground, beacon transmitter is activated by signal from impact sensor. Location of landed unmanned flying vehicle is determined by radio direction finding of beacon transmitter and vehicle is searched for following evacuation. Simplified to maximum landing procedure of unmanned flying vehicle according to proposed method makes it possible to dispense with complex on-board electronic guidance equipment and landing optical devices on ground.

EFFECT: possibility of landing on any unequipped ground areas.
