Carbon nanotube transducers on propeller blades for sound control

The present disclosure is directed to controlling, reducing, and/or altering sound generated by an aerial vehicle, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), while the aerial vehicle is airborne. For example, one or more transducers, such as piezoelectric thin-film transducers, or carbon nanotube transducers may be applied or incorporated into or on the surface of propeller blades that are used to aerially navigate the aerial vehicle. As the propeller blade rotates and generates sound, the transducers may be activated to generate one or more anti-sounds that cancel, reduce, or otherwise modify the sound generated by the rotation of the propeller blade. The anti-sound combines with the sound and causes interference such that the combined, or net-effect, is an overall cancellation, reduction, or other modification of the sound.

Techniques For Previewing And Composing Panoramic Photographs Using UAV Navigation Cameras

Described herein are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), systems, and methods for capturing panoramic images using cameras onboard a UAV. For example, an embodiment pertains to a UAV including a flight control system, a propulsion system operatively coupled with the flight control system, and an image system comprising navigational cameras and a gimbal camera.
