“AGCS recognizes the incomparable value that ParaZero brings to the table in an effort to carefully manage risks involved with the operation of drones,” commented Aviation Practice Leader and drone expert James Van Meter. “By prioritizing drone safety technology, we are supporting innovation to help clients mitigate risks and keep everyone safer.”
The ParaZero SafeAir™ recovery system has been proven to be effective across a large spectrum of emergency situations. Upon identifying flight malfunction, it deploys a parachute, stops the rotors, reduces drone speed and emits a loud notification sound to alert bystanders of the aircraft’s controlled descent; for example, the rapid descent of a large 750 lb. (350kg) drone could be stopped in approximately 30 feet (10 meters).
“Commercial drone use is getting more creative than ever before,” stated ParaZero CEO, Eden Attias. “This partnership helps to provide safety options to our already vast and growing client base.”
“Most accidents occur when a drone loses power or experiences critical flight breakdown and a pilot is limited in their options to prevent damage to the craft, surrounding area and people on the ground,” added Van Meter. “This forward-thinking partnership exemplifies our commitment to safety, client satisfaction and the exponential growth of the UAS industry.”
AGCS North America provides comprehensive hull & liability coverage for all manner of unmanned aircraft risks; it insures thousands of drone operators who use the aircraft for aerial data collection, closed set filming, delivery and public safety. AGCS continues to develop new products to meet the coverage needs of this rapidly evolving industry.
