An airbag system includes a VTOL aircraft fuselage having an airbag compartment defined within the fuselage. A protective cover defines a portion of the exterior surface of the fuselage. The protective cover encloses at least a portion of the airbag compartment. An airbag is folded within the airbag compartment secured to a point on the fuselage. A method for deploying an airbag in an aircraft includes sending a signal to a gas generator to inflate at least one airbag secured within an airbag compartment within a fuselage of an aircraft. The method includes jettisoning off a protective cover from the airbag compartment. The method includes inflating the airbag with the gas generator to extend outside of the airbag compartment to attenuate forces and cushion the aircraft upon ground impact.
