A quadcopter (not shown) is fitted with a plurality of landing legs or skids. The skids may be moulded from a resilient material such as polyurethane and may be affixed to the body of the aircraft via fixing screws. The skids or runners may have clear sections and may reflect or trap light shining from lights fitted to the body of the aircraft. Other parts of the legs may have an opaque finish and may channel light to ends of the skids. Illuminating the skids is intended to make night time landing of the quadcopter easier. The skids may be wider than the body of the aircraft in order to provide a more stable landing. The skids may flex to absorb shocks when landing.
