摘要: A circuit board assembly for association with an aircraft includes a circuit board and an electromagnetic interference component connected to the circuit board. The circuit board assembly may further include an enclosure having an electromagnetic signal permissive layer and an electromagnetic signal blocking layer. The electromagnetic signal permissive layer may include a housing that define a volume. The housing may enclose the electromagnetic interference component on the circuit board. The electromagnetic signal blocking layer defines a conductive barrier about the electromagnetic interference component.

摘要: Described herein is a sensor probe for association with a portion of an aircraft. The sensor probe includes a microphone assembly having a portion configured to receive audio signals. The sensor probe further includes a nosecone associated with the microphone assembly. The nosecone assembly is configured to shield the portion of the microphone assembly from noise generated by direct impact of an airflow for a plurality of local flow angles. In some examples, the nosecone includes a tip and a body portion, wherein a diameter of the body portion of the nosecone is smaller than a length of the nosecone and the nosecone is configured to mitigate drag of the sensor probe in an airflow. In some examples, the nosecone further includes a mount assembly downstream of the nosecone and positioned rearward of the tip and including a mount aperture in fluid communication within an external environment of the sensor probe and configured to direct airflow from the external environment rearward, the microphone positioned downstream of the mount assembly and secured in a perpendicular orientation relative to a direction of airflow exiting the mount aperture, and an acoustic corridor to transmit the audio signal extending from an opening at an external environment of the sensor probe to the microphone via the mount aperture, wherein the opening is defined by a side of the nosecone.

摘要: A delivery device to deliver a product from an aerial location includes a body defining a payload holding region. The delivery device may further include a coupling mechanism configured to couple the body to a primary vehicle. The delivery device may further include a control feature configured to change a flight characteristic of the body. A method for delivering a product may include positioning a first unmanned aerial vehicle within a threshold distance of a delivery location. The method may further include releasing a second unmanned vehicle from the first unmanned aerial vehicle once the first unmanned aerial vehicle is within the threshold distance. The method may further include causing the second unmanned vehicle to reach the delivery location. The method may further include activating a delivery mechanism to release the product from the second unmanned vehicle to deliver the product to the delivery location.

摘要: A system includes a camera configured such that a field of view of the camera is positioned to capture a base portion and a movable portion of an aircraft. A computer communicatively connected to the camera is configured to determine a relative orientation between a base identification feature of the base portion and a movable identification feature of the movable portion of the aircraft based on image data received from the camera. The computer is also configured to determine a position of the movable portion of the aircraft based on the relative orientation between the base identification feature and the movable identification feature and a position of the base portion and to compare the position of the movable portion to a reported position for the movable portion to determine a variance. An aircraft control system is configured to monitor a state of the aircraft based on the variance.

摘要: An unmanned aircraft system includes an aircraft control system that enables the safe operation of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles in the same airspace, through the use of a decentralized air traffic management system. The decentralized air traffic management system is robust against loss of communication between the unmanned aerial vehicle and does not require a centralized ground control system to coordinate the vehicles.

摘要: Described herein is an aircraft. The aircraft includes a peripheral assembly, such as a sensor probe. The aircraft further includes a release assembly connecting the peripheral assembly to a portion of the aircraft. The release assembly is configured to separate the peripheral assembly and the portion upon receipt of a threshold force. The release assembly may be configured to allow for the quick release, such as via a snap-fit connection, between the peripheral assembly and the portion of the aircraft.

摘要: An Unmanned Aerial System configured to receive a request from a user and fulfill that request using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The Unmanned Aerial System selects a distribution center that is within range of the user, and deploys a suitable Unmanned Aerial Vehicle to fulfill the request from that distribution center. The Unmanned Aerial System is configured to provide real-time information about the flight route to the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle during its flight, and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is configured to dynamically update its mission based on information received from the Unmanned Aerial System.
