    Abstract: An electrically powered of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft configured for use with a tether station having a continuous power source is provided including at least one rotor system. The vertical takeoff and landing aircraft additionally has an autonomous flight control system coupled to the continuous power source. The autonomous flight control system is configured to operate an electrical motor coupled to the at least one rotor system such that the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft continuously hovers above the tether station in a relative position. The vertical takeoff and landing aircraft also includes a detection system for detecting objects at a distance from the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is described. The UAV may include a fuselage assembly and a plurality of inter-connecting wing sections. The inter-connecting wing section may include a connecting assembly on opposing lateral ends. The connecting assembly may be complementary on opposing ends. The fuselage assembly may include a complementary set of the connecting assembly on opposing lateral ends. The complementary set of the connecting assembly may be configured to connect to at least two of the inter-connecting wing sections. At least a portion of the inter-connecting wing sections may include a solar array having solar panels.

    Abstract: An aircraft defining an upright orientation and an inverted orientation, a ground station; and a control system for remotely controlling the flight of the aircraft. The ground station has an auto-land function that causes the aircraft to invert, stall, and controllably land in the inverted orientation to protect a payload and a rudder extending down from the aircraft. In the upright orientation, the ground station depicts the view from a first aircraft camera. When switching to the inverted orientation: (1) the ground station depicts the view from a second aircraft camera, (2) the aircraft switches the colors of red and green wing lights, extends the ailerons to act as inverted flaps, and (3) the control system adapts a ground station controller for the inverted orientation. The aircraft landing gear is an expanded polypropylene pad located above the wing when the aircraft is in the upright orientation.
