Abstract: A system for flock-based control of a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The system includes UAVs each including a processor executing a local control module and memory accessible by the processor for use by the local control module. The system includes a ground station system with a processor executing a fleet manager module and with memory storing a different flight plan for each of the UAVs. The flight plans are stored on the UAVs, and, during flight operations, each of the local control modules independently controls the corresponding UAV to execute its flight plan without ongoing control from the fleet manager module. The fleet manager module is operable to initiate flight operations by concurrently triggering initiation of the flight plans by the multiple UAVs. Further, the local control modules monitor front and back end communication channels and, when a channel is lost, operate the UAV in a safe mode.

Abstract: For retrieval of a hovering aircraft, a cable, bar, or similar fixture is suspended in an approximately horizontal orientation across the retrieval area between two well-separated supports. The aircraft slowly flies into this fixture, which then slides along the aircraft in a direction approximately parallel with the aircraft's thrust line. This leads to the aircraft becoming fastened to the fixture by an interceptor or aircraft capturer, which in alternative embodiments are respectively on the aircraft or the fixture or both. Thrust is then reduced, and the aircraft comes to rest hanging from the fixture for subsequent removal. Retrieval is thus accomplished with simple and economical apparatus, light and unobtrusive elements on the aircraft, low risk of damage, and only moderate piloting accuracy.

Abstract translation: 为了检索悬停的飞行器，电缆，杆或类似的固定装置悬挂在两个分离好的支撑件之间的取回区域的大致水平的方向上。 飞机慢慢地飞入这个固定装置，然后沿着与飞机的推力线大致平行的方向沿飞机滑动。 这导致飞行器通过拦截器或飞行器捕获器被固定到固定装置上，在替代实施例中飞行器或飞机捕获器分别在飞行器或固定装置上或两者上。 然后减小推力，飞机从固定装置上休息，以便随后拆卸。 因此，在飞机上使用简单经济的装置，轻便和不引人注意的元件来实现检索，损坏风险低，而且只有适度的驾驶准确性。

Abstract: The drone (10) comprises a drone body (12) and a plurality of propulsion units (16) to drive propellers (18). Removable lateral bumpers (22) extend beyond the area of rotation of the propellers, each bumper being connected to the propulsion units on the same side by connection arms (24) each comprising a pair of elastically deformable elongated blades with at their end a clamp of mounting on a barrel (26) of the motor. Under the effect of an external transverse effort exerted in a median region, the two blades may be deformed in the direction of a mutual moving closer towards a mounting/dismounting position producing, by leverage, an opening of the clamp, so as to secure the bumper arm to the propulsion unit, and conversely the mounting/dismounting of the bumper by detachment of the clamp from the barrel, by the only transverse effort exerted on the connection arms.
