Provided is an aerial vehicle having a structure in which a rotating body has been excluded from a portion that can be touched by a user during flight. An aerial vehicle includes: a balloon unit; a control unit provided at the bottom of the balloon unit; and a plurality of micro-mechanisms (micro blowers), each of which blows out air. The micro blowers have a structure in which a vibrating member is vibrated in a space in communication with a plurality of openings, thereby blowing out, through a second opening, the air that has flowed into the space through a first opening. The control unit controls the micro blowers to change the position or the attitude of the aerial vehicle.

Methods and associated systems for autonomous package delivery utilize a UAS/UAV, an infrared positioning senor, and a docking station integrated with a package delivery vehicle. The UAS/UAV accepts a package for delivery from the docking station on the delivery vehicle and uploads the delivery destination. The UAS/UAV autonomously launches from its docked position on the delivery vehicle. The UAS/UAV autonomously flies to the delivery destination by means of GPS navigation. The UAS/UAV is guided in final delivery by means of a human supervised live video feed from the UAS/UAV. The UAS/UAV is assisted in the descent and delivery of the parcel by precision sensors and if necessary by means of remote human control. The UAS/UAV autonomously returns to the delivery vehicle by means of GPS navigation and precision sensors. The UAS/UAV autonomously docks with the delivery vehicle for recharging and preparation for the next delivery sequence.

Disclosed is a remotely controlled wireless drone which employs a solid fuel rocket engine to propel it quickly to a desired or location. More specifically, an unmanned vehicle including a fuselage and a propulsion unit engaged with the fuselage, the propulsion unit being operable to bring the unmanned vehicle to a desired altitude or location, generally during a launch stage. The fuselage also includes multiple rotors pivotally engaged with the fuselage and a rotor positioning system operable to pivot the multiple rotors between stowed and deployed positions. The stowed position of the propellers minimizes drag and instability during the launch stage, and the deployed position allows the multiple rotors to control the position and altitude of the unmanned vehicle after the fuel of the rocket engine is spent. Submersible/amphibious and other embodiments are also described.
