Rotor noise cancellation through the use of mechanical means for a personal aerial drone vehicle. Active noise cancellation is achieved by creating an antiphase amplitude wave by modulation of the propeller blades, by utilizing embedded magnets through an electromagnetic coil encircling the propeller blades. A noise level sensor signals the rotor control system to adjust the frequency of the electromagnetic field surrounding the rotor and control the speed of the rotor. An additional method comprises of incorporating a phase lock loop within the control system configured to determine the frequencies corresponding to the rotors and generate corrective audio signals to achieve active noise cancellation.

Unmanned aircraft have aligned forward and aft propulsion systems possessing different performance and/or noise characteristics. According to some embodiments, unmanned aircraft have a forward engine and a forward tractor propeller and an aft engine and an aft pusher propeller. Selected ones of forward and aft propulsion systems will thus be provided to have greater and lesser operational flight performance characteristics and greater and lesser noise signature characteristics, respectively, as compared to the other. For example, the forward propulsion system may be provided with the greater operational flight performance and/or noise signature characteristics as compared to the aft propulsion system, while conversely the aft propulsion system may be provided with a lesser flight performance and/or noise signature characteristics as compared to the forward propulsion system.

Containment vessels are adapted to facilitate blast and dispersion mitigation. According to one example, a containment vessel may include at least one containment layer. At least one expansion member may be coupled to the at least one containment layer to apply a force sufficient to expand a perimeter of the containment layer(s) laterally outward. A closure system may be coupled with the containment layer(s), where the closure system is configured to cinch the perimeter of the containment layer(s) around a target object without manual intervention. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) including a containment vessel, as well as methods of making a containment vessel are also disclosed. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

An aircraft with stealth double wings comprises a main body and stealth double wings. The main body has two main wings respectively having a surface into which a space is formed. The stealth double wings respectively are located in the spaces and include a first and a second rotating shaft, a link rod, a first and a second wing. The link rod has two ends respectively connected with the two rotating shafts. The two rotating shafts respectively have another end connected with the first and second wings. Thereby, when the first wing is moved to cover and enclose the space's opening, the second wing is driven to be located within the space, and when the first wing is moved upwardly away from the space, the second wing is driven to cover and enclose the space's opening, so as to keep the surface intact.
