Abstract: An aspirator with an aspirator body and an exhaust port coupled to the body, and having a plurality of integral high pressure gas nozzles positioned along the aspirator body the body. The aspirator body includes a high pressure integral conduit in communication with a nozzle array having a plurality of high pressure gas nozzles. The nozzles are arcuate, extending away from the body toward an aspirator centerline, the nozzles extending from the aspirator body at a preselected angle toward the centerline in a direction from an atmospheric air aspiration port toward the exhaust port. A high pressure inlet port integral with the body is in communication with the conduit and a high pressure gas source. The gas may be input into the inlet port using a high pressure inlet fitting, which may be threaded onto the inlet port outside the aspirator body. The aspirator is fabricated by additive manufacturing techniques.

Abstract: An aerial vehicle launcher including a rail having a first end and a longitudinal axis and a piston movable in a passageway formed in the rail, the piston connected to a carriage by at least two elongate flexible members. The carriage having a support device for releasably engaging the aerial vehicle. Upon the carriage and the aerial vehicle approaching one end of the rail, the support device controllably disengaging the aerial vehicle, permitting the aerial vehicle to be launched. A device is connected to a pressurized gas source, the device controllably providing pressurized gas from the pressurized gas source to the passageway for drivingly moving the piston, the carriage, and aerial vehicle along the rail for launching the aerial vehicle. The device includes a reservoir for holding pressurized gas, the reservoir being a conduit, the pressurized gas in the reservoir providing the driving force for launching the aerial vehicle.
