Helicopter – mit Airbag

Sonntag, September 7th, 2008

Das US-Unternehmen Bell Helicopter Textron hat ein Notlandesystem für Helikopter zum Patent angemeldet. Das Konzept der Ingenieure sieht vor, den Hubschrauber mit großen Airbags auszustatten, die bei einem Absturz die Aufprallenergie abfangen sollen. Sie wirken wie Polster, die den Aufschlag abmindern. Das Prinzip der Airbag-Landung ist bereits von Weltraumfahrzeugen der NASA bekannt. So wurde beispielsweise die Landung der Mars-Rover auf dem roten Planeten über Airbags abgefedert
