    Abstract: Systems and methods to launch an aircraft are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system to launch an aircraft comprises a launch arm comprising at least one load cell, an aircraft coupled to the launch arm, and a release mechanism in communication with the at least one load cell, wherein the release mechanism releases the aircraft when the at least one load cell indicates that a load on the launch arm is below a predetermined threshold. Other embodiments may be described.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a cargo transport system and method based on an UAV. The cargo transport system includes an UAV (50) and a vehicle (10) that can send and receive the UAV, so that cargos can be transported between the vehicle (10) and another terminal (60) by the UAV (50); the UAV (50) is provided with a navigation system that guides the UAV (50) to fly between the vehicle (10) and the another terminal (60); the vehicle (10) includes: an UAV accommodating device (40) arranged at a top surface of the vehicle (10); an UAV sending controller (20) and an UAV receiving controller (30), which are arranged at the vehicle (10); and the UAV receiving controller (30) includes an identity verification unit (301) and a short distance guide unit (302). According to the cargo transport system based on an UAV of the present invention, the sending and receiving of the UAV (50) can be controlled by the vehicle (10), and the UAV (50) is accommodated in the UAV accommodating device (40). In addition, the vehicle (10) may also provide the identity verification information and the short distance guide information to the UAV (50) by the identity verification unit (301) and the short distance guide unit (302), so that the UAV (50) can determine a target vehicle and accurately land on the target vehicle.
