ABSTRACT:
A way to make model/experimental planes crash proof by a shock absorbing harness mounted over the body of the plane, which does not significantly affect the flying abilities and qualities of the model/experimental.
The harness protects against collision with ground or other objects by strategically placing shock absorbing structures on the body of the aircraft. These structures are protruding from the overall outer dimension of the model/experimental aircraft and are the ones to first hit external objects and the ground. These shock absorbing structures are made of material that is light and provides the resiliency and cushion against the impact to the model/experimental body. The design is such that they add very little weight and drag to the model/experimental aircraft. The structures are made of thin wires and resemble an inverted question mark in its basic configuration. The basic structures are combined to produce a structure which can absorb crash impact forces from different angles of crash and are mounted on the body of the model/experimental aircraft to protect it from all foreseeable angles of crash.
