Abstract: A process for preventing overturning during the landing of an aircraft or spacecraft using an air bag type landing impact-damping system, which is inflated with gas before the landing and from which gas is discharged via discharge valves during the landing. The process includes using as the air bag type landing impact-damping system a system that is divided into a plurality of chambers that can be inflated with gas and from which gas is released independently from one another, and that a pressure difference is generated during landing in the individual chambers of the air bag type landing impact-damping system.
