Parafoil Recovery Systems

Parafoil recovery systems are designed to safely bring aircraft or payloads back to the ground after a mission or emergency. They utilize a soft, inflatable wing—similar to a parachute but more maneuverable—that deploys automatically or manually. When activated, the parafoil gently slows descent, providing stability and control. This system is commonly used in missile recovery, space launches, or drone applications to ensure a controlled, safe landing, minimizing damage and allowing for reuse or safe disposal of equipment. Its design combines lightweight construction with reliable deployment technology to enhance safety and recovery efficiency.
