  • Patent number: 11667399
    Abstract: A deck landing system for aircrafts, in particular rotating wing aircrafts, apt to implement a hook between the aircraft and the deck of a ship or of a floating platform, the deck being equipped with a target grid plate, it does not require the use of hydraulic systems and it comprises: a telescopic actuator (1) with a harpoon (3) having, at its own distal end, hooking grippers (7); and a control unit (9) which actuates said telescopic actuator (1), wherein the telescopic actuator (1) comprises a linear electromechanical actuator (8) having: a main battery (13) fed through a unit (12) for converting and conditioning the energy and connected to said telescopic actuator (1); and a device (10) for recovering and releasing the kinetic energy generated by the waves with the aircraft locked on said deck, is of the type acting with super-capacitors, which feeds said main battery (13).
