What You Need:

• Servo channel to actuate the servo – This can include the Mayday Automatic Failsafe Controller, or the Skycat Rescue Radio. Also eject using an extra parachute eject channel from your RC radio. The Pixhawk and some other autopilots do support parachute ejection channels. See the Ardupilot Parachutepage which shows how to setup this functionality.
• Suitable Mount – The Harrier has three 6-32 sized mounting holes in the base. Or even simpler just use a Velcro strap to hold the Harrier onto a mount. We will be providing various mounts shortly.

Key features

• Light Weight – All launchers use thin wall carbon fiber canisters and light weight nylon parts.
• Ultra Light Parachute – All Harrier launchers feature our Ultra Light parachutes for the highest performance possible at the lowest weight.
• High Energy Spring – All launchers feature powerful springs to get the highest possible ejection velocity and a low weight.
• Patent Pending Parachute Release – We pushed the envelope to make the launcher as short and compact as possible. We developed a new low profile patent pending spring release mechanism. A high quality and fast servo actuates the release of the parachute in a fraction of a second.
• Ease of Use – To reset the parachute launcher after use you use a simple tool to push down the launcher piston which “clicks” into place. This makes loading the parachute a breeze since you do not have to fight the piston spring. The chute folding can be optimized for fast opening since lines do not needed to be wrapped around the parachute.
• Use for Drones and Fixed Wing – Of course your going to want to use the Harrier for your Drone Parachute Recovery System. But the short and compact launcher make the Harrier an ideal solution for Fixed Wing UAV’s. All the harrier launchers will feature short versions that will fit into the low profile fixed with airframes.
• Many sizes, many diameters – Like our other products the Harrier product line is a family of launchers of various diameters and then vary the canister length to accommodate different size parachutes. Sizes include 40mm, 50mm, 56mm and more to come.
