Galaxy GRS is a Czech maker of ballistic parachute rescue systems, based in Liberec. Its roots go back to hang-gliding in the 1970s and 1980s; the first ballistic rescue system was built at the Liberec Delta Club in 1983, and the company dates its start as a maker to 1984. It describes itself as one of the world's largest producers of ballistic rescue systems and reports more than 130 lives saved.
The parachute is fired from a container into free air by a pyrotechnic device, which lowers the altitude needed for recovery. Systems exist for hang gliders, gyroplanes and helicopters, light aircraft, and anti-spin parachutes for aeroplanes, with repacking and revision services.
For unmanned aircraft the company makes the GBS 10 series. The GBS 10/150 covers 5 to 15 kg and weighs 405 g; the GBS 10/350 covers 15 to 35 kg at 725 g; the GBS 10/650 covers 35 to 65 kg at 1.42 kg. Speedy variants are rated up to 220 km/h, the minimum deployment height starts from 5 m, and operation is specified from -20 to +40 °C for the basic version. The system was tested by an accredited Czech military testing laboratory. The GBS 10M and GBS4INSPIRE are further multicopter versions.
Galaxy holds Czech, European and US patents for its UAV rescue systems, including a canopy that opens at low altitude and low speed. Selection depends on the aircraft mass, so the manufacturer's sizing tool should be used.
FACC develops and manufactures composite aerostructures, engine nacelle components and cabin parts for aviation OEMs. Its capabilities cover lightweight wing components, structural panels and engine-area assemblies, supported by aircraft design, production and maintenance approvals.
Fruity Chutes manufactures parachute canopies, recovery assemblies and deployment accessories for unmanned aircraft and aerospace payloads. Its Iris Ultra series includes multiple canopy sizes and packing options used to engineer descent and emergency-recovery systems.
Ultra Motion designs and manufactures electromechanical linear actuators with integrated feedback and motor control for aerospace, defense and robotics. Its Servo Cylinder and L-Series architectures provide configurable stroke, load and communication options for OEM motion systems.
Aernnova develops and manufactures composite and metallic aerostructures for aircraft OEMs, including wing, fuselage and tail assemblies. Its engineering and production capabilities cover structural design, industrialization and build-to-print parts for fixed-wing and advanced aviation platforms.
