Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an inertia measurement module for an unmanned aircraft, which comprises a housing assembly, a sensing assembly and a vibration damper. The vibration damper comprises a first vibration-attenuation cushion; and the sensing assembly comprises a first circuit board, a second circuit board and a flexible signal line for connecting the first circuit board and the second circuit board. An inertia sensor is fixed on the second circuit board, and the first circuit board is fixed on the housing assembly. The inertia measurement module further comprises a weight block, and the second circuit board, the weight block, the first vibration-attenuation cushion and the first circuit board are bonded together. The present disclosure greatly reduces the influence of the operational vibration frequency of the unmanned aircraft on the inertia sensor and improves the measurement stability of the inertia sensor.

Abstract: Described is a system and apparatus that provides redundant flight control for an aerial vehicle without the use of independent and dedicated redundant flight control boards and processors. Additional compute resources available on processors of other device boards of an aerial vehicle may be used to execute redundant flight control programs. The device boards and/or those redundant flight control programs monitor the operability of the various flight controllers. If any of the flight controllers is determined to be inoperable, one of the redundant flight control programs assumes the role of the inoperable controller.

Abstract: A flight vehicle control and stabilization process detects and measures an orientation of a non-fixed portion relative to a fixed frame or portion of a flight vehicle, following a perturbation in the non-fixed portion from one or both of tilt and rotation thereof. A pilot or rider tilts or rotates the non-fixed portion, or both, to intentionally adjust the orientation and effect a change in the flight vehicle's direction. The flight vehicle control and stabilization process calculates a directional adjustment of the rest of the flight vehicle from this perturbation and induces the fixed portion to re-orient itself with the non-fixed portion to effect control and stability of the flight vehicle. The flight vehicle control and stabilization process also detects changes in speed and altitude, and includes stabilization components to adjust flight vehicle operation from unintentional payload movement on the non-fixed portion.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authorizing drones with access to airborne fulfillment centers (AFCs) and other warehouse facilities are described. For example, the systems and methods perform multiple authentication processes, including a physical authentication process and a virtual or electronic authentication process, when determining whether a drone is authorized to access an AFC. Once authorized, the drone may access the AFC to pick up and/or deliver packages or other products, to recharge, to seek repairs, to be housed, and so on.

Abstract: FIG. 1 shows airframe (10) with powertrain (11) supporting electromagnetic field strength sensor (12), reference electromagnetic field strength (14), comparator (16), and shutdown (18) flying along a transmission line with towers (40, 42, and 44), phase conductors (46, 48), and 50, and shield wires (52 and 54). Reference electromagnetic field strength (14) is adjusted before the flight to set the minimum electromagnetic field strength before shutdown (18) reduces the power to powertrain (11). The reference electromagnetic field strength (14) corresponding to a characteristic radial dimension (58), and thus virtual tunnel (22), outside of which airframe (10) cannot fly without automatic shutdown (18), regardless of the state of the autopilot, GPS signal, or radio link.

Abstract: A drone control system for controlling a drone which includes an onboard-flight-system previously configured to receive navigational-data in a format compliant with a standard navigational data transmission protocol. The system includes a remote-sensor and an interface. The remote sensor is located remotely from the drone and determines the position of the drone relative to the remote-sensor. The interface, coupled with the remote-sensor, produces a pseudo GPS signal indicating the position of the drone and to provide the pseudo GPS signal to an onboard-flight-system of the drone. The format of the pseudo GPS signal is fully compliant with the standard navigational data transmission protocol employed by the onboard-flight-system. The onboard-flight-system is receives inertial tracking data from an onboard inertial-measuring-unit and the pseudo GPS signal, and tracks the position of the drone by merging the inertial tracking data and the pseudo GPS signal and navigates the drone accordingly.
