At the 2025 Shenzhen UAV Expo, one company stood out for its groundbreaking contributions to drone safety: ”Flyfire Technology“.
Flyfire, one of the pioneers in passive safety solutions for drones, demonstrated its innovative parachute system designed to protect drones and people on the ground. Focusing on the industry’s most widely used platform, DJI drones, Flyfire demonstrated how its technology can bridge the gap between operational efficiency and safety in commercial and industrial applications.

Flyfire’s Mission: Pioneering Safe Flight
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Dongguan, China, Flyfire has dedicated itself to creating "an era of safe flight" through passive safety systems like parachutes, airbags, and propeller-stoppers .
Flyfire's products, including the Manti series, Owl series, as well as airbags, propeller stops and other safety system solutions, have prevented more than 1,400 drone accidents worldwide, demonstrating our commitment to minimizing risks to personnel and equipment during flight failures.
.
As a "DJI PSDK Ecosystem Partner", we jointly designed a parachute system customized for DJI flagship drones such as Matrice 4, Mavic 3 and M350. This collaboration ensures seamless integration with DJI flight control and environmental perception systems, thereby enhancing reliability in critical scenarios.
Star of the Show: The OWL M350 Parachute System
Flyfire’s OWL M350 parachute stole the spotlight with its advanced engineering and real-world performance metrics:
1. Ultra-Fast Response: A dual-sensor redundancy system, combined with DJI’s OSDK data fusion, enables the parachute to deploy within **0.5 seconds** of detecting an emergency, even at speeds up to 5-5.5m/s .
2. Precision Landing: The OWL M350 reduces descent speed to 3.5 m/s (tested with a 9 kg load), ensuring safe landings even in urban environments .
3. Weather Resilience: Built with ABS engineering materials and carbon fiber reinforcement, the system withstands wind resistance up to **Level 7** and operates in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 50°C .
4. Minimal Impact on Operations: Weighing only 800g, the OWL M350 reduces drone battery life by a mere **4 minutes and 15 seconds**, making it ideal for prolonged industrial missions like infrastructure inspections .
The system also features a manual override mode, allowing operators to deploy the parachute instantly in emergencies, paired with a 110 dB buzzer to alert bystanders .

.
Our safety algorithms enable us to analyze real-time flight data from DJI drones and dynamically adjust the parachute’s deployment parameters based on altitude, wind conditions, and payload. For example:
The flyfire Manti 3 Plus parachute is designed for lightweight DJI drones like the Mavic 3, with a reaction distance of 13.52-25 meters and a compact size (6x6x4.3 cm) to ensure compatibility without sacrificing flexibility.

.
Our open OWL M30 parachute system for the dji M30 series is optimized for high-altitude missions and operates perfectly at altitudes up to 3,500 meters, with its 2.25 square meter parachute area allowing for a stable descent.
In addition to this, we also offer remote firmware updates, allowing users to download optimized algorithms directly to their devices, ensuring long-term adaptability to new drone models or regulatory requirements..

Looking Ahead: Flyfire’s Vision for Safer Skies
Flyfire’s participation in the 2025 Shenzhen Drone Expo highlights its role as a catalyst in driving safer commercial drone applications. By combining DJI’s ecosystem with its own safety innovations, Flyfire is setting a new benchmark for drone reliability. As one show attendee said, “Flyfire’s parachutes are more than just accessories, they are a must-have for any high-risk drone operation.”
For drone pilots and drone operating companies, Flyfire’s solutions offer a combination of performance, adaptability, and excellence.
