Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) delivery system is configured to deliver a payload or package in a rural and/or urban environment. The AV delivery system includes a first autonomous vehicle (AV). The first AV is configured to travel between a payload receiving location and a payload drop location. The AV delivery system further includes a second autonomous vehicle (AV) coupled to the first AV. The second AV is coupled to a payload and configured to travel between the first AV and a designated drop target adjacent to a ground or receiving surface at the payload drop location.

Abstract: Described herein is a sensor probe for association with a portion of an aircraft. The sensor probe includes a microphone assembly having a portion configured to receive audio signals. The sensor probe further includes a nosecone associated with the microphone assembly. The nosecone assembly is configured to shield the portion of the microphone assembly from noise generated by direct impact of an airflow for a plurality of local flow angles.

Abstract: A delivery device to deliver a product from an aerial location includes a body defining a payload holding region. The delivery device may further include a coupling mechanism configured to couple the body to a primary vehicle. The delivery device may further include a control feature configured to change a flight characteristic of the body. A method for delivering a product may include positioning a first unmanned aerial vehicle within a threshold distance of a delivery location. The method may further include releasing a second unmanned vehicle from the first unmanned aerial vehicle once the first unmanned aerial vehicle is within the threshold distance. The method may further include causing the second unmanned vehicle to reach the delivery location. The method may further include activating a delivery mechanism to release the product from the second unmanned vehicle to deliver the product to the delivery location.

Abstract: An unmanned aircraft system includes a testing and calibration system that enables automated testing of movable parts of an unmanned aircraft. The testing and calibration system uses a camera-based technique to determine the position and angle of movable parts, in order to establish whether or not those parts are moving in a manner consistent with correct function.

Abstract: A nosecone of an aircraft sensor probe may include a first portion defining a tip of the nosecone that is formed from a first material. The nosecone further includes a second portion aft of the first portion and formed from a second material. The second portion may define an internal volume. The second material may have a greater porosity than the first material. The nosecone may further include a third portion aft of the second portion. The third portion may be configured to arrange a microphone assembly relative to the internal volume. The nosecone may a component or subassembly or a sensor probe for the aircraft. For example, the sensor probe may include the nosecone and the microphone assembly. The nosecone may be configured to block the audio signals at the tip and reduce turbulent noise of the audio signals associated with non-parallel local flow angles of the airflow.

Abstract: A flight plan of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be updated based on an order update corresponding to an order being delivered by the UAV. A determination may be made that the initial flight plan should be updated to fulfill the order including the order update. The initial flight plan may be updated based on the order update and state information corresponding to the UAV. The updated flight plan may transmitted to a flight controller of the UAV for execution of the updated flight plan.
