DARPA demonstrates robotic landing gear for helicopters 

Helicopters while being versatile are quite bound when it comes to lending and holding off. They require a level surface for executing both and such ideal scenarios can hardly be found in rescue and combat missions. The current array of helicopters relies on a simple skid or wheel landing gear that requires the machine to remain level in order to avoid tilting the rotors. DARPA has demonstrated a new robotic landing gear system in an unmanned flight near Atlanta, Georgia. The landing gear system allows helicopters to set down on broken or uneven terrain while sporting a high degree of safety. DARPA demonstrates robotic landing gear for helicopters 
  
The automatic landing gear is being developed by the Georgia Institute of Technology under funding from DARPA’s Mission Adaptive Rotor (MAR) program. The late flight was demonstrated at the DARPA’s ‘Wait, What? A Future Technology Forum’ held in St. Louis.
