SMOOTH LANDING SYSTEMS
Emergency landings can occur in various situations, including helicopter malfunctions, bad weather conditions, and offshore platform emergencies. In such situations, the helicopter's rotors can work in reverse to reduce the impact velocity, while inflatable systems can provide additional cushioning. The specific systems used can vary depending on the helicopter model, taking into account factors such as weight, center of gravity, and inertia. Additionally, sea states should be considered in water landing situations. Besides rotorcraft, innovative solutions like iron birds (prototypes for unmanned aerial vehicles) can also be explored to ensure safe and effective emergency landings.
