מערכת קיפול מצלמה למזל"ט

One of the common techniques for landing medium size UAV without wheels still uses a parachute (preferably of a guided gliding type) with the aircraft in horizontal position. As the UAV descends to the ground air cushions are blown up from the aircraft underbelly to absorb the landing impact.
Though the cushions generally protect the UAV from the landing impact there is still a need to protect the payload as it protrudes from the aircraft body. On impact with the ground the cushions lose the air in them and the UAV, with its whole weight, is leaning on the sensitive payload structure. Thus there is a need to develop a mechanism that will fold the payload into the body of the UAV.
