Rivabyte Y400 Parachute for Matrice 400

Rivabyte Y400 Parachute for Matrice 400: Rapid emergency deployment for safer enterprise operations

The Rivabyte Y400 Parachute is purpose-built for the DJI Matrice 400 series, providing a fast-response safety solution for high-risk enterprise missions. Its bracket-based mount and direct E-Port (E4) connection allow quick installation without modifying internal wiring, making it ideal for field teams requiring immediate operational readiness.

Eight RGB LEDs deliver automatic red and blue lighting after deployment, improving ground visibility and retrieval. Delivered in new condition, the system supports operators who need dependable aircraft recovery and controlled descent during unexpected failures or power interruptions.

Features at a glance

• Fast installation using bracket mount without internal aircraft rewiring
• Direct E-Port connection provides clean, reliable system communication
• Eight RGB LEDs activate red and blue lighting after deployment
• Automatic activation responds to malfunction, loss of control, and rapid descent
• Manual activation supported directly through the DJI remote controller
• Supercapacitor provides up to 10 seconds of function after power loss
• Reusable design uses replaceable parachute pack and propellant kit
• Controlled descent rate maintained between 4 and 5.5 meters per second
• Designed for Matrice 400 platforms supporting loads up to 18 kilograms
• Operates from −20°C to 60°C across altitudes from −150 to 4,000 meters

Integrated logic supports real-time monitoring and emergency activation

Engineered through DJI PSDK, the Rivabyte Y400 maintains direct communication with the aircraft to monitor flight status in real time. When a malfunction, loss of control, or rapid descent is detected, the system initiates a propeller stop followed by parachute deployment. It also supports one-click manual activation using the DJI remote controller.

The module includes a supercapacitor providing up to 10 seconds of continued function after aircraft power loss, ensuring deployment logic remains active when it is most needed. With quick installation and clean wiring, the Y400 enhances mission safety for all Matrice 400 operators.

Reusable hardware reduces operational costs and field downtime

Enterprise teams benefit from the system’s reusable design, which minimizes long-term expenses. After deployment, crews only replace the parachute pack and propellant kit—both designed for fast attachment through a secure aviation connector. With a descent rate of 4–5.5 m/s and support for aircraft loads up to 18 kg, the Y400 provides predictable recovery performance across diverse terrains, temperatures, and altitudes. Its lightweight 560 g form factor and compact dimensions help maintain flight balance and payload efficiency.
