ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a releasable body, comprising outspreadable arms articulated at one of the ends of said body and actuation means adapted to pass said arms, in the course of aerial descent of said body, from a position folded along said body to a spread out position substantially perpendicular to said body in order to brake descent thereof, wherein it comprises first means for controlling said actuation means to control retraction of said arms along said body when the latter has reached the ground after its aerial descent, said body then being in standby state, and second means for controlling said actuation means to control outspreading of said arms to pass from the standby state to an active state in which the arms support the body on the ground. The invention is applied to releasable bodies provided with aerodynamic braking means.
