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.
Bayonet passageways and locking tabs let additively made UAV airframe sections join without tools, speeding reconfiguration while preserving strength.
A turn-bushing lock with spring fasteners and torque pins enables tool-free UAV assembly without losing rigidity under flight vibration.
A spine-based modular fuselage boosts rigidity while movable sections shift center of gravity for lighter, mission-flexible aircraft.
Integrated bayonet mounts and deflection tabs enable tool-free UAV airframe reconfiguration while preserving secure structural connection.
A detachable chassis and universal payload interfaces let one drone support diverse missions without multiple specialized aircraft.
Articulated rotors provide independent thrust vectoring to maintain wing stability and maneuverability in windy conditions.
Tiltable propulsion units redirect thrust vectors to resolve the contradiction between high propulsion efficiency and low device complexity in air vehicles.
Modular man-portable aircraft uses segmented wings and high-speed fastening to resolve assembly time versus connection reliability trade-offs.
A prefabricated nose landing gear module integrates the mechanism and fastening system into a single unit.
Merges staircase structure with lavatory unit wall to reduce installation time and cost while saving floor space.
