Rivabyte Y400 Parachute for Matrice 400

Rivabyte Y400 Parachute for Matrice 400: Integrated emergency recovery for enterprise UAV missions

The Rivabyte Y400 Parachute provides Matrice 400 operators with a rapid-response emergency descent system designed for demanding enterprise use. A quick bracket mount and direct E-Port (E4) connection enable fast installation without internal modifications.

Eight RGB LEDs illuminate in red and blue after deployment, improving visibility for ground personnel and aiding recovery. The Y400 offers a compact, lightweight safety solution for organizations operating in sensitive or high-risk environments.

Key features

• Quick bracket mounting enables fast installation during field deployment
• Direct E-Port interface supports clean electrical and data integration
• RGB LEDs illuminate with red and blue warnings after parachute deployment
• Automatic activation responds to malfunction, loss of control, and rapid descent
• Manual deployment available through the standard DJI controller interface
• Reusable design uses replacement parachute pack and propellant kit
• Supercapacitor provides up to 10 seconds of post-power-loss operation
• Descent rate maintained between 4 and 5.5 meters per second
• Compatible with aircraft loads up to 18 kilograms on the Matrice 400
• Operational range spans −20°C to 60°C and −150 to 4,000 meters altitude

Smart activation logic enhances aircraft protection during failures

Using DJI PSDK integration, the Y400 continuously monitors aircraft telemetry for signs of malfunction, loss of control, or rapid descent. When an emergency is detected, the module performs a propeller stop and deploys the parachute automatically. Operators may also trigger deployment manually via the DJI controller.

A built-in supercapacitor allows up to 10 seconds of continued function after aircraft power failure, preserving activation capability during critical failures. With a clean installation workflow and low overall weight, the Y400 strengthens operational safety for enterprise UAV fleets.

Reusable design supports cost-efficient field operations

The system’s reusable design allows operators to quickly replace only the parachute pack and propellant kit after deployment, lowering long-term operating expenses. A controlled descent rate of 4–5.5 m/s protects both payload and aircraft during emergency landing.

Supporting loads up to 18 kg and operating reliably from −20°C to 60°C across altitudes from −150 to 4,000 meters, the Y400 is suited for diverse industrial, environmental, and public safety missions requiring dependable emergency recovery.
