Abstract: A method for calibrating a target gas sensor inside a drone comprises receiving air flow at the target sensor due to least one of diverted propeller air flow or diverted air flow caused by drone flight, measuring a concentration of the target gas, receiving equivalent air flow at a sensor of at least one reference gas having known atmospheric concentration positioned in or on the drone, measuring a concentration of the at least one reference gas, and calibrating the measured concentration of the target gas based on the measured concentration of the at least one reference gas.

Abstract: A fixed wing drone comprises an air channel embedded therein. The air channel has an upstream an air inlet. A microcontroller mounted within the drone is configured to control navigation of the drone. An air scoop having a section positioned adjacent the inlet to the air channel is adjustable between a first position to capture and divert air into the inlet and thereby to air channel and a second position to block air flow into the air inlet. The air scoop is positioned to divert air flow into the air channel and to the gas sensor during forward flight of the drone. In one embodiment, the fixed wing drone comprises an aircraft having a fuselage and at least two wings. In another embodiment, the fixed wing drone has a flying wing construction, that is, is a tailless design.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) a wing. The UAV can include first and second propellers extending from a front portion of the wing and positioned to provide thrust to the UAV. The UAV can include a first actuator carried by the wing, and a first leg operably coupled to the first actuator. The first leg can be configured to rotate in a first plane parallel to a plane bisecting the wing. In some embodiments, the UAV includes a second leg connected to a second actuator, the second leg configured to rotate in a plan parallel to the first plane.

Abstract: A modular unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system comprises a body module, a rotor module, and a wing module. The body module includes a flight controller and a power distribution device. The body module is releasably attachable to the rotor module or the wing module, and the body module is releasably attachable to the rotor module. The rotor module includes one or more motors and electronic speed controllers (ESCs), while the wing module includes a wing having a flap, elevator, aileron, or rudder. Various UAV configurations can be formed from the body module, the rotor module, and the wing module. Each configuration includes different advantages for flight time, distance, battery life, and payload capacity. A UAV can be configured to a particular configuration to optimize parcel delivery.

Abstract: The technology relates to service dispatchers for fleet management and flight planning systems. A method for dispatching vehicles for service includes receiving, by a service dispatcher, a first input comprising a plurality of state data of a fleet of aerial vehicles and a second input comprising a service objective; determining, using the first input, that one or more aerial vehicles in the fleet meets a set of criteria associated with performing the service objective; submitting a bid on the one or more aerial vehicles, the bid configured to induce a vehicle allocator to allocate the one or more aerial vehicles to the service dispatcher; receiving an allocation of some or all of the one or more aerial vehicles; generating a plan to use the allocation to perform the service objective; and dispatching the allocation according to the plan.
