Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be deployed from a small stowed package for flight and stowed back into the package after the flight is complete is disclosed. The UAV is retracted to a volume that is less than half of its fully deployed volume. This allows the UAV to be transported to any desired field position on a truck or other convenient transportation. The UAV may also be launched from a ship deck. In a further aspect, the flexible deployment of the UAV will allow a single UAV to be used in place of multiple types of UAVs.

Abstract: A dual ducted fan arrangement in which the duct components (203), engine (10), and avionics/payload pods (300, 302) are capable of being quickly disassembled to fit within common backpacking systems. Each duct is identical in fan (201 ), stator (102), and control vane design. Assembly connections between ducted fans (203) and electronic modules are also identical. An engine (10) or APU drives the dual ducted fans (203) through a splined shaft (601) to a differential (600) or through electric motors. Energy is transferred to the ducted fans by a single gear mounted to the stator (102) hub. Relative speeds of the individual ducted fans are controlled through separate frictional or generator load control braking mechanisms (603) on each of the splined shafts (601) between the differential (600) and ducted fans (203). In the electric motor case relative speed is through electronic speed control. The fans (201 ) are counter rotating for torque balancing. The electronic module locations are vertically variable for longitudinal center of gravity for variations in payloads.

Abstract: A method for landing a fixed wing aircraft is provided in which an inversion maneuver is performed so that the aircraft's back is facing the ground, and the aircraft's underside is facing away from the ground. After initiation or completion of this maneuver, deep stall is induced, and the aircraft descends almost vertically to land on its upper side, thus minimizing impact loads or damage on its underside. In a particular aerodynamic arrangement configured for carrying out the method, a flap (24), which may be stowed during normal flight, is deployed in a manner such as to aerodynamically induce a negative pitching moment on the aircraft and deep stall.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for assembling, launching, recovering, disassembling, capturing, and storing unmanned aircraft (140) and other flight devices or projectiles are described. In one embodiment, the aircraft (140) can be assembled from a container (111) with little or no manual engagement by an operator. The container (111) can include a guide structure to control motion of the aircraft components. The aircraft (140) can be launched from an apparatus that includes an extendable boom (103). The boom (103) can be extended to deploy a recovery line (853) to capture the aircraft (140) in flight. The aircraft (140) can then be returned to its launch platform, disassembled, and stored in the container (111), again with little or no direct manual contact between the operator and the aircraft (140).
