There is provided a drone system in which a drone and a movable body operate in coordination with each other, the movable body being capable of moving with the drone aboard and allowing the drone to make a takeoff and a landing, the movable body including: a takeoff-landing area on which the drone can be placed and that serves as a takeoff-landing point from and on which the drone takes off and lands; a movement control section capable of moving the movable body together with the drone aboard; and a movable body transmission section that sends information on the movable body, the drone including: a flight control section that causes the drone to fly; and a drone reception section that receives information on the movable body, wherein the drone sends, to the movable body, a position of a takeoff-landing point at a time when the drone takes off.

When a start condition determined in advance is satisfied while a vehicle is parked, a controller controls an aircraft such that the aircraft takes off from the vehicle, a photographing unit captures a position notification image including at least the vehicle and notifying a parking position of the vehicle, and the position notification image is transmitted to a mobile terminal having a display unit and carried by a user outside the vehicle.

Systems, devices, and methods for receiving, by a processor having addressable memory, data representing a geographical area for imaging by one or more sensors of an aerial vehicle; determining one or more straight-line segments covering the geographical area; determining one or more waypoints located at an end of each determined straight-line segment, where each waypoint comprises a geographical location, an altitude, and a direction of travel; determining one or more turnarounds connecting each of the straight-line segments, where each turnaround comprises one or more connecting segments; and generating, by the processor, a flight plan for the aerial vehicle comprising: the determined one or more straight-line segments and the determined one or more turnarounds connecting each straight-line segment.

An air mobility control system is provided. The system includes one or more shock absorbing units that are mounted in an aircraft and are configured to absorb a vertical force impacting on the air mobility vehicle. A distance sensor is mounted in the air mobility vehicle and is configured to sense the distance to a ground or an approaching object. A safety controller is configured to detect an abnormal descent of the air mobility vehicle and to operate the one or more shock absorbing units to be deployed according to the distance sensed by the distance sensor.

A flight control module for detecting anomalies ILS localizer signals during landing of an aircraft is provided. The flight control module includes a communication interface coupled to a processor. The communication interface is configured to receive an ILS localizer deviation. The processor is configured to compute a plurality of localizer deviations and compare the ILS localizer deviation to an average of the plurality of localizer deviations to detect a low-frequency anomaly in the ILS localizer deviation. The processor is configured to initiate a transition from controlling the aircraft based on the ILS localizer deviation to controlling the aircraft based on a selected one of the plurality of localizer deviations when the low-frequency anomaly is detected.

A system and method for use with a VTOL aircraft with batteries in a state of deep discharge which prepares the aircraft for a safe vertical landing despite the deep discharge initial condition. The method may include preparing the batteries for an intense burst of power as may be needed during the vertical landing. The method may include idling the battery, thermally conditioning the battery, and may further include charging the batteries by regenerative use of the rotors. The preparation of the batteries may then allow for a burst of power used for landing the aircraft.

A collision avoidance system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) receives physical space data for a flight area and creates a virtual world model to represent the flight area by mapping the physical space data with a physics engine. The automatic collision avoidance system creates a virtual UAV model to represent the UAV in the virtual world model. The automatic collision avoidance system receives flight data for the UAV and determines a current position of the virtual UAV model within the virtual world model. The automatic collision avoidance system determines a predicted trajectory of the virtual UAV model within the virtual world model, and determines whether the predicted trajectory will result in a collision of the virtual UAV model with the virtual world model. The automatic collision avoidance system performs evasive actions by the UAV, in response to determining that the predicted trajectory will result in a collision.
