AERIAL VEHICLE WITH DEPLOYABLE COMPONENTS

An unmanned aerial vehicle with deployable components (UAVDC) is disclosed. The UAVDC may comprise a fuselage, at least one wing, and at least one control surface. In some embodiments, the UAVDC may further comprise a propulsion means and/or a modular payload. The UAVDC may be configured in a plurality of arrangements. For example, in a compact arrangement, the UAVDC may comprise the at least one wing stowed against the fuselage and the at least one control surface stowed against the fuselage. In a deployed arrangement, the UAVDC may comprise the at least one wing deployed from the fuselage and the least one control surface deployed from the fuselage. In an expanded arrangement, the UAVDC may comprise the at least one wing telescoped to increase a wingspan of the deployed arrangement.

AIRCRAFT WITH STEALTH DOUBLE WINGS
20200031452 · 2020-01-30 ·

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.

Aerial vehicle with deployable components

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having wings stowed against a fuselage of the UAV in a first arrangement is disclosed. Methods and systems for deploying the wings into a second arrangement are disclosed. For example, after a launch of the UAV, the UAV monitors for at least one pre-set condition. The at least one pre-condition being a pre-condition associated with deploying wings of the UAV into the second arrangement. Upon detecting the at least one pre-set condition, the wings of the UAV are deployed into a second arrangement. Deploying the wings comprises activating, in response to detecting the at least one pre-set condition associated with the UAV, a gearbox configured to transition the wings from the first arrangement to the second arrangement. Roll control may be maintained throughout launch and deployment.
