Provided is an inflatable wing for a rotary-wing aircraft capable of obtaining auxiliary lift by inflating the inflatable wing equipped on the fuselage when a main rotor is in non-powered rotation state by not providing power for rotating the main rotor due to causes such as an engine failure in a conventional type of rotary-wing aircraft having a single engine, thereby providing a safer emergency landing.

The conformable pressure vessel having: a plurality of individual pressure vessels, the individual pressure vessels each having an outer wall enclosing an inner volume. The inner volumes are fluidly connected to each other. The individual pressures vessels are oriented parallel to each other.

A retention unit for securing a charged gas cylinder to a body of an aircraft includes a container having an opening and configured to cover the charged gas cylinder. The retention unit also includes a plurality of flaps coupled to the container and configured to be attached to the body of the aircraft using a contact adhesive. The retention unit also includes a drawstring disposed around the opening of the container and configured to provide a closure of the container around a neck of the charged gas cylinder inside the container.

A UAV with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) function having a plurality of lift propellers; a cabin engaged with a plurality of lift propellers; a water propulsion system engaged with the cabin to push the cabin in a forward direction when the cabin is at least partially immersed in water; at least one water inlet engaged with the water propulsion system; the cabin is a cargo hold or a passenger cabin. The UAV provided by the disclosure can realize vertical takeoff and landing in the water area, and fly, drive and navigate freely in the whole area.
