A soft & controlled landing

The new PARA² canopies used in Kronos parachute systems are the result of 3 years of development. Their innovative, ultra-light design and unique construction give PARA² canopies superior efficiency and stability.

The fall rate is minimised in relation to the canopy surface. Each Kronos parachute is designed so that the canopy(s) keep the drone as flat as possible during its fall in order to minimise damage on impact.

Ultra-fast installation

The parachute  is assembled in just a few minutes by the pilot himself, without the drone ever having to pass through our workshop. The Kronos Mini parachute system can be installed and uninstalled in less than 2 minute. Attach the adhesive bracket to the front of your drone, clip the parachute to the bracket, run the lines around the drone & turn on the parachute. Dronavia provides video installation tutorials as well as a user & instruction manual to make it easy to get started.

Automatic take-off & landing

Thanks to the automatic take-off and landing detection technology, you can avoid manually activating the Kronos Mini parachute and the risk of accidental activation.

Why equip your drone with a Parachute Recovery System (PRS)?

Adding a Parachute Recovery System (PRS) to a drone can help ensure safety in the event of a technical failure or critical problem during flight (extreme weather conditions, radio transmission failure, technical failure of the propulsion system, loss of GPS signal, etc.).

Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) help attenuate impact and minimize damage to the drone and its environment in the event of an emergency landing. They can also help protect nearby people in the event of a problem during flight.

How do Kronos Mini / Nano Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) protect my drone?

All our Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) enable an emergency landing following an in-flight problem, by drastically limiting impact energy.

To limit impact energy, the new Kronos PRS systems incorporate autonomous deployment technology. This technology automatically deploys the parachute in less than 0.27 seconds, compared with around 3 seconds for human deployment, in the event of a problem during flight.

The new PARA² canopies used in Kronos Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) are the result of three years’ development. Their innovative, ultra-light design and unique composition give PARA² canopies superior efficiency and stability. The rate of fall is minimized in relation to the surface area of the fabric. Dronavia Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) are designed so that the canopy keeps the drone as flat as possible during its fall, to minimize impact damage.

However, Dronavia cannot guarantee that your drone will remain flat during its fall. This depends on weather and deployment conditions (height, type of ground, etc.).

How do the Kronos Mini / Nano Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) work?

To reduce activation time and increase the chances of avoiding a crash or accident, Dronavia Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) incorporate autonomous deployment technology. This technology automatically deploys the parachute in less than 0.27 seconds, compared with around 3 seconds for human deployment, in the event of a problem during flight.

For total safety, the Kronos Mini Parachute Recovery System (PRS) can also be deployed manually, using a Klick trigger remote control. The Kronos Nano Parachute Recovery System (PRS) cannot be activated by the Klick trigger remote control, but only by autonomous deployment technology.

Ergonomic, lightweight, with LED status indicators and a secure wireless connection, the Klick trigger remote control range enables drone operators to ensure the safety of their flights, thanks to rapid, controlled activation.

How does Kronos Mini / Nano autonomous Parachute Recovery System (PRS) deployment technology work?

For several years, Dronavia has been developing autonomous deployment technology (mandatory for MOC2512 (M2) compliant systems and the C5 accessories kit) to help operators achieve the best risk management for their flight missions.

This technology automatically deploys the parachute in less than 0.27 seconds, compared with around 3 seconds for human deployment, in the event of a problem during flight.

Here are just a few of the elements taken into account by our autonomous deployment technology: gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, barometer, temperature, humidity, etc.

Dronavia’s autonomous deployment technology has been tested to EASA standards.

What is the autonomy of the Kronos Mini / Nano Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS)?

The Kronos Mini Parachute Recovery System (PRS) is equipped with an independent 10-hour battery. The Kronos Nano Parachute Recovery System is equipped with an independent 5-hour battery. Both Parachute Recovery System (PRS) can be recharged via a USB-C socket located on the PRS.

Can the Kronos Mini / Nano Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) be deployed manually?

Only the Kronos Mini Parachute Recovery System (PRS) can be deployed using a Klick trigger remote control. The Kronos Nano Parachute Recovery System can only be deployed using autonomous deployment technology.
