    Abstract: A UAV includes: a rocket body, having a rocket motor and a payload section; a parachute coupled with the payload section; an image capture device; a magnetometer to provide a compass reference for images taken from the image capture device; and a transmitter to communicate image and compass data to a remote receiver. Compass bearings are overlaid on image data from the image capture device. A handheld launch unit includes an ignition system, having an activation mechanism and an igniter to activate the rocket motor. A safety pin prevents electrical current from flowing to the igniter until the pin is removed. An accelerometer and/or magnetometer determines an angular orientation of the UAV. Software verifies that the angle is within a user-defined safety limit before activating the igniter.

    Abstract: A modular component set is configurable to form a plurality of flight capable platforms. A plurality of end pieces each has contiguously connected curved outer portions each longitudinally expanding from a tip to terminate at a blunt attachment face. Body members have opposed ends to receive the end piece blunt attachment face, and a rectangular shaped mid-portion having opposed walls. A plurality of task specific panels are each releasably connectable to one of the opposed walls. At least one of the body members with the end pieces joined at the opposed ends, and at least one of the task specific panels connected to one of the opposed walls form a minimum component set for each of the flight capable platforms.

    Abstract: The Duffel Bag Airplane is an inflatable flying wing unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV). The fuselage will house everything but the wings. The wing can be rolled up around the fuselage into a small package when deflated for easy transportation, such as by being carried in a duffle bag. Fabric construction, a small internal combustion engine with cooled exhaust, and wing warping controls combine to make the airplane inexpensive and extremely stealthy. All the usual signatures have been suppressed, which allow it to be used to make observations from close range under combat conditions. Control of this airplane is accomplished by warping the wings and is supplemented with stability augmentation.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle, such as a remotely-piloted airplane, includes lift-producing wings that have batteries embedded or otherwise located within them. Locating the batteries within the wings allows more efficient use of the interior space of the unmanned vehicle. Space within a fuselage of the vehicle, which would otherwise be used for batteries, may be used for other components. Alternatively, fuselage, weight and/or size of the unmanned aerial vehicle may be reduced. In addition, locating the batteries within the wings may provide better structural performance of the wings, and/or may allow characteristics of the wings, such as inertia and moments, to be optimized.

    Abstract: A reusable, mach-velocity mobile platform delivers a weapons payload via vertical launch, powerless glide, weapons release, and landing operation phases. The platform includes a generally tubular shaped body having an aft and forward end, and a payload section. An arch wing is supported by the body aft end. The arch wing has an upper and a lower wing joined at distal ends by two curved end plates. A nose assembly is connected at the forward end having an upward directed fixed angle-of-attack to generate forward end lift. Thermal tiles attached under the body and the lower wing under-side radiate/dissipate heat generated during a high angle-of-attack platform reentry. Radar absorptive or radar translucent material is used. The platform preferably discharges payload from the aft end for safe separation. A landing gear is extended for the landing phase of operation.

    Abstract: A circular VTOL aircraft with a central vertically mounted jet or rocket engine 7, (or engines) having below vertical thrust vents 14 at cardinal points, together with a jet/rocket engine 20 (or engines) horizontally mounted on turntable pod 16 which is steerable through 360 degrees and centrally situated below the vertical engine (s). Alternatively the horizontal engine can be replaced by central thrust vent 36 delivering thrust from the vertical engine to vectored thrust nozzle 37 attached to the turntable. Thrust from the four vertical thrust vents is controlled by valves 21 giving VTOL thrust control as well as pitch and bank control. The horizontal engine provides acceleration and retro-thrust for horizontal flight and directional control through 360 degrees. The passenger cabin is situated in the main body of the aircraft. Fuel tanks are installed around the central engines. The flight-deck is situated at the top-centre of the craft above the engines, which are detachable for maintenance.
