Abstract: A portable launch and landing pad for a rotor drone is disclosed, comprising a circular arrangement of rigid panels, each having a generally triangular profile shape. The rigid panels are connected by hinges along their side edges, allowing articulation between adjacent panels. This design enables the launch and landing pad to be easily, compactly transported and assembled, providing a stable and secure platform for the rotor drone during takeoff and landing operations. This design may better hug or conform to undulating terrain, and does not blow away when drone thrust hits the pad. This may provide benefits of keeping a drone camera lens and gimbal clean, preventing prop strikes and lens strikes from pebbles or tall grass, and preventing dirt and debris from entering motor bearings and shortening useful life.
