Design and analysis of an inflatable recovery platform for shipborne UAV

Abstract It is difficult to recover drones for small ships (such as destroyers). Therefore, it necessary design a new carrier-borne UAV recovery platform, achieving the purpose of rapid offshore UAV. This paper presents fast unfolding and folding inflatable structure ship recovery. analyze some static response platform. Firstly, parking positions on runway surface factor. Secondly, materials also Thirdly, airbag’s internal pressure affects find that responses such deformation stress more sensitive material position UAV, transverse material, but not airbag.
