A center-of-mass nozzle and collapsible reservoir help a painting UAV keep alignment, limit overspray, and maintain finish quality.
An inflatable beam carries fluid and power lines aloft to extend UAV range, reduce entanglement, and support stable remote dispensing.
An adapter bridges UAV and third-party load protocols, enabling unified control commands and data exchange without changing either side.
A mechanical Geneva drive opens, closes, and locks an aircraft water-tank outlet for fast firefighting drops without complex onboard actuators.
A tethered pickup component uses descent and side-step maneuvers to engage an autoloader and retrieve payloads without human waiting.
A protective sock contains cable or rope recoil after breakage, preventing rebound from striking hovering aircraft and rotors.
Pre-mapped visual features let a UAV recover from navigation failure or spoofing and localize itself for real-time safe landing.
Stamped aluminum panels replace honeycomb cores, using integrated stiffeners and direct equipment mounting to cut satellite manufacturing cost and complexity.
Active flight control and deployable fins guide cargo to small landing pads while preserving soft landing capability in adverse weather.
Sensor feedback and force compensation keep a UAV spray nozzle aligned to the surface, reducing overspray and coating unevenness.
Sensors and AI let a UAV detect tree parameters, select trunk sections, and transport them with less terrain damage, labor risk, and cost.
A spaced detector mount with lift support reduces UAV magnetic and acoustic interference while preserving flight stability and real-time sensing.
An electrically actuated boom coupling enables non-destructive emergency separation during in-flight refueling, reducing accident risk.
A camera drone inspects malfunctioning storage-grid robots above the framework, avoiding risky manual checks and system shutdowns.
A rear-driven rotor layout removes shaft blockage at the inlet, cutting pressure drop while improving air-oil separation and oil flow.
