    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle includes: a vehicle body, where the vehicle body includes a first positioning device; and a landing gear, where the landing gear can be detached from the vehicle body, and when the landing gear is detached from the vehicle body, the vehicle body determines a position of the landing gear by using the first positioning device. Because the landing gear can be detached from the vehicle body and the vehicle body can determine the position of the landing gear by using the first positioning device, the unmanned aerial vehicle, when performing a flight mission, is not affected by the weight of the landing gear, avoiding that the landing gear blocks an image capture device and implementing convenient takeoff and landing.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods for detecting an aerial vehicle landing. One method includes performing at least two of a plurality of landing tests to detect the landing of the aerial vehicle. The plurality of landing tests include a static test, a thrust test, and a shock test. Upon a detection of the landing by one of the at least two landing tests performed, the method further includes performing a free-fall test to detect a free fall of the aerial vehicle. The free fall of the aerial vehicle is a change in altitude of the aerial vehicle above an altitude change threshold. Upon a lack of a detection of the free fall by the free-fall test, the method includes setting a landed state for the aerial vehicle. Upon a detection of the free fall by the free-fall test, the method includes setting an in-air state for the aerial vehicle.
