Abstract – UAV & drone market is having rapid growth & will have huge impact in future ahead. With development of technology and machine, it is important that safety of the machine & its expensive & high-end components is ensured. We here in this paper describe about development of parachute recovery system to ensure safe landing of drone or UAV after inflight malfunction or failure of the system. we have integrated mechanical, electrical & electronics components together in this system. A comparative study of different materials that can be used for parachute making. The housing for all the components was designed such that it has minimal effect on the system aerodynamics. We created a prototype and are carried out tests, to ensure that system is reliable and works properly in different environmental conditions and technical situations.

Key Words:  UAV- Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
