    Abstract: To provide a drone with an airbag that can eliminate the danger of the drone injuring a person in the event of the drone crashing mid-flight including during takeoff and landing. The present invention is equipped with an airbag 3 for reducing the impact of a crashed drone 2 colliding with a person. Prior to the drone 2 taking off, the airbag 3 can be inflated by being supplied with gas. Once the drone 2 has taken off and reached a required altitude, the airbag 3 deflates due to the gas being exhausted. When the drone 2 is mid-flight and in danger of crashing, the airbag 2 can be inflated instantly by being supplied with gas. Prior to the drone 2 landing, the airbag 3 can be inflated by being supplied with gas.
