Patent attributes
The present disclosure provides a parachute control system for an aircraft which comprises a sensor device, a first control device, a second control device and a drive device. The sensor device is configured for sensing flight states of the aircraft, for converting the flight states to a sensor signal, and for transmitting the sensor signal to the first control device. The first control device is electrically connected to the sensor device for receiving the sensor signal, and is configured for judging whether the aircraft is in a normal flight state based on the sensor signal. If the aircraft is in an abnormal flight state, the first control device is configured to control the parachute to open and to terminate the operation of the aircraft. The present disclosure also provides a parachute control method for an aircraft. The disclosed parachute control system and method automatically control the parachute to open and terminate the operation of the aircraft when the aircraft is in an abnormal flight state, ensuring that the aircraft may descend at a slow pace when the aircraft encounters any operation issues and preventing any damage or loss of the aircraft.
