Abstract: An air-launched aircraft (10) includes deployable wings (16, 18), elevons (20, 22), and vertical fins (26, 28) that deploy from a fuselage (12) during flight. The aircraft may include a control system for operating the elevons, a communication system, and batteries for powering the systems. In addition, the aircraft may include a payload module (14) that mates with an interface in the fuselage. The payload module may include any of a variety of payloads, including cameras, sensors, and/or radar emitters. The aircraft may be powered or unpowered, and may be very small, for example, less than on the order of 10 kg (22 pounds). The deployable surfaces of the aircraft may be configured to deploy in a pre-determined order, allowing the aircraft automatically to enter controlled flight after being launched in a tumbling mode.

Abstract translation: 空中飞行器（10）包括在飞行期间从机身（12）展开的可展开的机翼（16,18），电梯（20,22）和垂直翼片（26,28）。 飞机可以包括用于操作电梯的控制系统，通信系统和用于为系统供电的电池。 此外，飞行器可以包括与机身中的接口相配合的有效载荷模块（14）。 有效载荷模块可以包括各种有效载荷中的任何一种，包括相机，传感器和/或雷达发射器。 该飞机可能是动力或无动力的，并且可能非常小，例如小于10kg（22磅）的量级。 飞机的可部署表面可以被配置成以预定的顺序部署，允许飞机在以翻滚模式发射之后自动进入受控飞行。
