An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airbag may protect protection for a UAV or other objects when making contact with one another. The UAV airbag may at least partially surround the UAV while allowing the UAV to remain at least partially operable. In some embodiments, the UAV airbag may be inflated just prior to making contact with another object. After inflation, the UAV airbag may be at least partially sealed to reduce or inhibit deflation of the UAV airbag, but possibly not to completely prevent airflow from the UAV airbag upon contact with another object. The UAV airbag may exhaust some air upon impact, thereby reducing a deceleration of a UAV contained inside of the UAV airbag.
