Abstract

A flying object, e.g. an unmanned aircraft (29) recovery system comprising a recovery site arrester sub-system (1) incorporating hook means (13) and an object-borne sub-system (27) incorporating parasail lift means (31) and looped filamentary material (33) connected between the object and the parasail lift means. In operation, upon deployment of the object-borne system whilst the object is in flight, the looped filamentary material is aerially extended and supported by action of the parasail lift means, thereby facilitating engagement of the filamentary material with the hook means. <IMAGE>
