An unmanned aerial vehicle is provided, including a primary operation system in communication with a primary state estimator. The primary operation system is configured to operate the unmanned aerial vehicle based in part on the primary state estimator. The vehicle includes a flight failure recovery system in communication with a recovery state estimator and the primary operation system. The flight failure recovery system is configured to determine, at a first time, that flight failure has occurred. The flight failure recovery system is configured to determine a suitable second time to generate a deploy signal for a parachute based at least in part on one or more signals from the recovery state estimator. There is a delay between the first time and the suitable second time. An intelligent emergency parachute deployment system for, and a method for flight failure recovery of an unmanned aerial vehicle are also provided.
