Nippon Kayaku is developing a safety device for drones (small unmanned aerial vehicles) called the ``Floating Parachute System.'' On March 26, it was reported that an aircraft Drones equipped with this system were used experimentally to test a floating solar power plant and it was confirmed that it could be done without any problems.

The use of drones over water is increasing, including floating solar power plants, offshore wind power plants and logistics using rivers, seas and skies. Among them, companies that own testing equipment, river management organizations and port organizations are questioning the safety of drones, such as whether drones can sink in water if dropped, whether it can be recovered, and whether parts of the drone will be scattered. and marine pollution It is expected that the number of comments and problems related to the activity is increasing.

The float parachute system developed by the company is a safety device for drones flying on water, integrating the function of floating on the water surface (float) and the function of minimizing impact when falling (parachute). Equipped with this system, even if the plane falls into the water, the parachute will cushion the impact and the buoy will lift the plane, allowing it to be recovered.
