    Abstract: The modular aircraft system includes a single fuselage having a permanently installed empennage and plural sets of wing modules and engine modules, with each wing and engine module optimized for different flight conditions and missions. The fuselage and each of the modules are configured for rapid removal and installation of the modules to minimize downtime for the aircraft. Short wings having relatively low aspect ratio are provided for relatively high speed flight when great endurance and/or weight carrying capacity are not of great concern. Long wings having high aspect ratio are provided for longer range and endurance flights where speed is not absolutely vital. A medium span wing module is also provided. Turboprop, single turbojet, and dual turbojet engine modules are provided for installation depending upon mission requirements for any given flight. The aircraft is primarily adapted for use as an autonomously operated or remotely operated unmanned aerial vehicle.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial system (UAS) may comprise an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a portable power source, and a tether connecting a UAV to a portable power source. The tether may transmit power from the portable power source to the UAV. The UAS may be controlled by a remote control, which may command the UAV to surveil a location and transmit images back to the controller. The UAV may further include one or more components attached to the UAV, such as a camera, surveillance equipment, a Taser®, a LED strobe light, laser, or a claw. A remote control may control the flight of the UAV as well as the functionality of the one or more components. The UAS may be configured to, for example, surveil a location, intercept an intruder, inspect a building, and/or perform crowd control.
