    Multicopter recovery system?

    I'm not a multi copter pilot, though I'd like to be in the future

    I have watched many videos, and some more interesting videos are seeing these thrust based aircraft plummet from the sky when losing all power.

    I was curious if we could develop a plug and play recovery system consisting of:

    -an accelerometer
    -parachute
    -A-B size rocket
    -Igniter / onboard battery
    -PCI chip

    Maybe something like this has already been developed and I'm just behind

    But imagine a self deploying parachute system for your expensive copter, in the advent of a power loss at any altitude

    Any interests?
