agree philgoddard : I'm not sure "trunk" is correct. And in this context it might be better to say "cushions filled with air, liquid, or gel".

neutral Daryo : Yes for "air cushion", but not convinced that "trunk" would be in this case the correct description of the shape (... En forme de boudins")

please google on these terms for many examples.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Daryo : HERE theses "boudins" are part of a system for lending drones, not used for lifting anything.// Google is not going miraculously to take into account the context if you don't ..

I strongly disagree: this is not the landing gear but the landnig platform and it isshaped like a "boudin pneumatique", not identical in every sense, so this is a perfectly acceptable shape for landing a drone onto.

French term (edited): boudins pneumatiques (plateforme d'atterrissage de drones)

air bed (for landing drones)

if these "boudins pneumatiques" are to be used to land drones on them, I would expect them to present a flat surface on top => "beds"

It's comparable to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_suspension

in a sense that these "boudins pneumatiques" (air bags / air bellows / air springs etc.) are used for absorbing shocks, NOT for lifting anything, only in this ST it's not a part of the vehicle (the drone) but of the landing surface.
