Abstract: Provided herein is a canopy control system comprising a yoke, configured to be pivotably securable to a vehicle and securable to a line system of a canopy in use, such that the yoke pivots with respect to the vehicle in a first direction when the canopy is subjected to a wind force; and a control mechanism configured to apply a control force to the canopy line system to cause the canopy to oppose the wind force, such that yoke pivots with respect to the vehicle in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: An aerial vehicle comprising: a source of thrust, for propelling the vehicle forwards; and a canopy attachment arrangement having at least one securement point for at least one line of a canopy securable to the vehicle in use for providing lift to the vehicle, wherein the canopy attachment arrangement is configured such that the at least one securement point is movable between a first position below the line of thrust and a second position above the line of thrust.
