At least two drone stacks are axially offset from each other, the axes displaced from each other in such a manner that the drone arms and propellers are interspersed. A variety of offset stacking arrangements are illustrated that increase the density of the stack and provide space for a payload. With proper geometry and motor control, the propellers are configured to be electrically folded in. In addition, the offset stack is configured to enable drones to automatically launch sequentially from and automatically return to the stack when using appropriate location determination apparatus. Ventilation pathways are provided within each drone that enhance the cooling of the drones while in the stack. The stacks are configured for use within or separate from a storage and charging case. The relevant apparatus, systems, and methods are each disclosed.

A system for unmanned vehicles and carriers therefor having a propulsion system, anchoring system, anchoring sites and a locking and unlocking mechanism. A carrier having one or more arresting locations. The propulsion system has at least one propeller for each rotor and at least one blade capable of rotating for each rotor. The locking and unlocking mechanism has a switching member such as a rod. The switching member in a standby position is in the path of the rotating propeller blade and upon being displaced into a position not in the path of the rotating blade is in an unlocking position sending a signal to unlock the UAV from the anchoring site.

A trailer for use with a drone having a bed and a deck, where the deck is vertically above the bed and operably engaged with the bed. The bed is adapted to engage with a moving apparatus. The trailer also has a base provided on the deck and the base is a substantially continuous single sheet of material. The base also can be comprised of a single sheet of composite material. The base also has a perimeter which is sealed to a frame of the deck. The trailer also has equipment mounted to the bed. The equipment is one or more of a plumbing assembly and an electrical assembly.
