Abstract: A method for collecting acoustic data from an industrial machine is disclosed. The method may include: providing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having an acoustic receiver attached thereto; and positioning the unmanned aerial vehicle at a specific location so that the acoustic receiver collects acoustic data from the industrial machine at the specific location. An acoustic receiver is attached to the UAV for collecting acoustic data from the industrial machine. An acoustic filter is attached to the acoustic receiver and the UAV for filtering unwanted sound from the acoustic data. Acoustic data can be used by a flight control system to identify a specific location relative to the industrial machine that is a source a specific acoustic signature emanating from the industrial machine.

Abstract: A remotely controlled or autonomously controlled UAV is disclosed. The UAV has both wings and a deployable parachute to enable both fixed wing flight and paraglider flight. The UAV can fly at a higher speed to a mission area as a fixed wing craft, and loiter over the area as a powered paraglider. In some embodiments, the wings are jettisoned over the mission area and the UAV configured as a powered paraglider completes its mission. In other embodiments the UAV flies to the mission area as a fixed wing craft, deploys the parachute to loiter as a powered paraglider and then jettisons the parachute to fly under a fixed wing back to a base. The former embodiment cannot fly back to a base, they may be used to carry and deploy bombs or grenades, while the latter may be used for surveillance, deliver supplies or the like.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying method for helping an UAV flying to a location of an owner of the UAV or flying to a predetermined place includes the following steps of: triggering the UAV into a hijacked mode; ascertaining if the UAV is capable of flying or not; the UAV flying to the location of the owner or to the predetermined place if the UAV is capable of flying; and, the UAV sending a distress signal to the owner if the UAV is not capable of flying. Therefore, the UAV is capable of flying back or sending information after entering the hijacked mode, so as to avoid or lower the loss caused by losing the UAV or the UAV being captured by the captor.
