An unmanned helicopter platform includes a fuselage, a tail coupled with the fuselage, a payload rail coupled with and extending along the fuselage and a main rotor assembly coupled with the fuselage. The tail includes a tail rotor and a tail rotor motor. The main rotor assembly includes a main rotor having an axis of rotation and a main rotor motor. The payload rail allows mechanical connection of payloads to the fuselage and positioning of the payloads such that a center of gravity of the payloads is alignable with the axis of rotation.

A vertical tail of a composite-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having a body, a rudder face section, a rotor section, shock absorbing component and a quick installation assembly of circuit. The body includes a tail body frame and a shell. The rudder face section has a rudder machine and a rudder surface. The rudder surface is connected to one end of the tail for steering the directional deflection of the UAV. The shock absorbing component is connected to the lower end plate and the shock absorbing component absorbs the shock to the body. The quick installation assembly of circuit includes a plug, a positioning sleeve and a bias piece, the positioning sleeve is located on the outer circumference of the plug and slidingly connected to the plug, the bias piece is set between the plug and the positioning sleeve, the bias piece can absorb the impact on the plug.

The limit assembly (3) is installed in the limit hole (2111). The limit assembly (3) includes a first elastic element (31) and a limit element (32).

An objective of the present invention is to eliminate unnatural behaviors of a wireless controlled airplane during PID control. In a wireless controlled airplane, a receiving section receives a first operation signal for a first actuator, a second operation signal for a second actuator, and a third operation signal for a third actuator, wherein the first, second and third operation signals are provided as operation signals wirelessly transmitted. A first actuator control section is configured to generate an actuation signal for the first actuator by means of PID control depending on the first operation signal, and to reduce an integral element in the PID control depending on an operation value for the second or third operation signal. Alternatively, the first actuator control section is configured to perform switching to a control without an integral element from the PID control.

A main body of an unmanned vehicle is provided. The main body comprises a propulsion-receiving module having a mount point for removably mounting a propulsion source, a payload-receiving module having a mount point for removably mounting a payload, and a damper interposed between the payload-receiving module and the propulsion-receiving module to inhibit transmission of vibrations from the propulsion-receiving module to the payload-receiving module when the payload-receiving module and the propulsion-receiving module are in mechanical communication.

Technology is disclosed herein for dynamically selecting a communication channel for communication between an unmanned aerial vehicle and an access point. In an implementation, an unmanned aerial vehicle selects a current channel for communicating with an access point by performing a scan of the communication channels and, for each channel, generating a score based on performance metrics acquired during the scan. The communication channels are sorted into an ordered list according to the scores of the communication channels. The vehicle selects the first channel of the ordered list to be the current channel and periodically evaluates the channel performance against a performance threshold. Upon determining that the performance of the current channel is below the performance threshold, the vehicle evaluates the second channel from the ordered list.
