Movable supports and sensors help reconfigure VTOL aircraft for standard road transport with faster stowing and lower damage risk.
A rotating or sliding wing lock enables quick UAV assembly while maintaining the strength and rigidity needed for flight.
A lock head and sliding lock plate enable fast UAV wing removal and secure attachment, improving transport flexibility without sacrificing connection strength.
A sliding lock plate and slotted lock head speed UAV wing removal and installation while keeping the wing-fuselage joint secure.
A loosely coupled drone and payload controller split degrees of freedom so interchangeable payloads can add force during hover without losing flight control.
