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: An Unmanned Aerial System configured to receive a request from a user and fulfill that request using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The Unmanned Aerial System selects a distribution center that is within range of the user, and deploys a suitable Unmanned Aerial Vehicle to fulfill the request from that distribution center. The Unmanned Aerial System is configured to provide real-time information about the flight route to the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle during its flight, and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is configured to dynamically update its mission based on information received from the Unmanned Aerial System.

Abstract: An aerial vehicle is disclosed including a rotor assembly having a downstream blade and a upstream blade. The downstream and upstream blades are configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. The downstream blade may be arranged extending outward from the axis of rotation along a downstream blade orientation. The upstream blade may be arranged extending outwards from the axis of rotation along a upstream blade orientation that is non-orthogonal to the downstream blade orientation. The downstream blade and the upstream blade may be axially offset from one another along the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A docking system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes a docking housing that defines a docking compartment, and a docking assembly coupled to the docking housing and configured to suspend the UAV within the docking compartment. The docking assembly may include a guiding feature configured to receive a docking feature of the UAV and direct the UAV toward a first captured position. The docking assembly may further include an advancement assembly operatively coupled with the guiding feature and configured to move the UAV from the first captured position to a second docked position.

Abstract: A battery preconditioning system may include a battery for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a thermal analysis system configured to predict, for a predetermined flight path of an upcoming flight, a temperature change of the battery as a result of the UAV traversing the predetermined flight path, and determine a target initial temperature for the battery. The target initial temperature is based at least in part on the predicted temperature change and is configured to limit a duration that the battery operates outside an operating temperature window during traversal of the predetermined flight path. The battery preconditioning system may also include a thermal management system configured to receive the target initial temperature from the thermal analysis system and thermally condition the battery by performing at least one of heating or cooling the battery to the determined target initial temperature.
