Rivabyte DPS-Y4P Parachute for Matrice 4T/4E: Lightweight emergency descent for compact enterprise platforms
The Rivabyte DPS-Y4P Parachute is engineered for DJI Matrice 4T and 4E aircraft, offering compact, rapid-response emergency descent capability for demanding enterprise missions. Its minimalist drawer-style mounting system and top-mounted E-Port interface allow fast installation using two M3 screws, with no pre-installed kits required.
The DPS-Y4P integrates cleanly with the aircraft’s structure, delivering a reliable safety layer for operations conducted in urban, industrial, or confined environments where controlled descent is essential.
Intelligent monitoring supports timely activation during flight irregularities
Developed through DJI PSDK, the DPS-Y4P maintains continuous telemetry communication to detect malfunction, loss of lift, or rapid descent. When a critical condition is identified, the system initiates a propeller stop and deploys the parachute automatically. Operators may also activate deployment manually via a dedicated button on the DJI controller interface.
A built-in supercapacitor provides up to 10 seconds of continued function after aircraft power loss, ensuring deployment remains possible even during electrical failures. The compact 3.0 × 2.5 × 1.7 in (76 × 64 × 44 mm) module installs quickly for immediate field readiness.
Reusable design supports fast reset cycles and lower operating costs
The system’s reusable architecture allows operators to restore functionality by replacing the parachute pack kit, which includes a pre-folded parachute and propellant consumables secured with three M2×12 screws. The lightweight 3.5 oz (100 g) module supports loads up to 3.3 lb (1.5 kg) and provides a stable descent rate of 13–16 ft/s (4–5 m/s). Its wide environmental tolerance—from −4°F to 140°F (−20°C to 60°C) and −492 to 13,123 ft (−150 to 4,000 m)—makes it suitable for diverse inspection, mapping, and public safety applications.
