An under-pad cable module and buffered solar-grid power enable rapid eVTOL charging while reducing grid strain and improving reliability.

Grid-buffered storage and segmented charging units enable fast, reliable electric aircraft recharging in any landing orientation.

Automated UAV airport marker allocation minimizes similarity between nearby landing points, reducing planning time and improving landing identification.

A side-shift, lift, and tilt cradle captures aircraft nose landing gear without a towbar, enabling more precise and automated towing.

Encoded two-way laser links guide drones without GPS or radio, improving resistance to jamming, interception, and line-of-sight limits.

Sensors and vision identify aircraft type and guide towbarless winch capture, improving towing accuracy, safety, and autonomy.

Mesh-networked beacons let an aircraft tow vehicle detect relative positions to airport objects and automatically avoid collisions.

Autonomous nose gear capture lets a towbarless tractor couple and navigate aircraft pushback with less manual intervention.

Beacon-guided coordination lets towbarless aircraft tractors and other ground equipment automate pushback, towing, and positioning with less manual effort.

Controller-guided steering and side-shift help a towbarless tractor align and capture aircraft nose gear across different aircraft types.

Autonomous return-path sensing lets a towbarless aircraft tractor couple nose gear directly, tow hands-free, and avoid obstacles on the way back.

Bidirectional remote control with status feedback helps a pushback tractor capture, tow, and position aircraft more safely and precisely.

Side-mounted, selectively controlled lights show an aircraft tow vehicle's travel direction and operating mode for safer ground coordination.

Multiple airdrome position detectors correct GPS drift and guide UAVs into beacon coverage for more accurate, reliable landings.

Predicted trajectory checks against airport taxiway maps cut false alerts and pilot workload while protecting aircraft during taxi.

Collaborative mapping and trajectory control automate aircraft taxiing while filtering spurious alerts and avoiding obstacles or runway incursions.

Predicted object trajectories are checked against the taxi path to revise guidance and cut pilot workload during airport taxiing.

When obstacles threaten to block platform tracking, the aerial vehicle shifts laterally to keep the target in view and avoid follow-up failure.

Multiple airdrome position detectors correct GPS drift by guiding a UAV into beacon coverage for more accurate and reliable landing.

Nested beacon patterns with controlled area ratios improve UAV landing recognition despite staining, interference, and distance changes.

Dynamic display markers, contrast zones, and QR codes keep UAV landing pads recognizable in dark, bright, and adverse conditions.

Keeping landing markers clear of the loading hatch edge prevents marker splitting and helps drones land accurately even when the lid is open.

Passive markers on a recovery tether let a UAV calculate line position for accurate recovery without GPS or detectable guidance signals.

A multi-feature landing target stays detectable from high altitude and supports precise UAV guidance as image blur changes with distance.

A UAV delivers a rope or ladder from a distant aircraft, using dual connections to verify attachment and reduce close-range turbulence hazards.

Symmetric nested marker hulls keep landing pad references visible through descent, enabling accurate vehicle pose estimation without GNSS.

Passive reflective pad markers let an aircraft use its own radar for precise vertical landing localization while also revealing pad obstacles.

Autonomous power cartridges remove manual exchange for alert-response UAVs, extending flight range and reducing delays in large or obstructed areas.

A digital twin preserves customized docking parameters so failed airport guidance devices can be restored remotely, reducing downtime to minutes.

Projecting segmented light sheets defines the landing zone geometry, resolving diffuse halo issues in high ambient brightness.

Grid light cones encode horizontal and vertical deviations from the target approach path, resolving low angular resolution limits of traditional PAPI systems.

Sequenced lights create time domain signals for UAV identification, resolving GPS inaccuracy at close delivery points.

Rotorcraft display system calculates and projects directional symbology to reduce pilot visual scan area and cognitive workload during approach.

Processor synthesizes sensor and pilot inputs to generate a unified operational mode signal, resolving ambiguity in flight phase determination.

Radar-guided light detection expands aircraft docking range while maintaining laser eye safety standards.
