Abstract: An apparatus and method of charging and housing of an unmanned vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is disclosed. The apparatus can accommodate an aircraft, and the apparatus includes a landing platform on which the aircraft lands, a housing portion to monitor state data by housing or charging the aircraft, and a sensor to assist in landing of the aircraft by allowing the aircraft to communicate with the apparatus. The apparatus enhances operational efficiency by reducing a travel time of the aircraft.

Abstract: A storage station for unmanned vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircrafts includes a storage case (110) for accommodating an unmanned VTOL aircraft therein, a first coupling member (120) having one end pivotably coupled to an inner upper surface of the storage case and the other end protruding out of the storage case by a pivoting operation, and a second coupling member (130) provided at the other end of the first coupling member, in which one end of a main body of the unmanned VTOL aircraft is coupled to the second coupling member, and the second coupling member is rotatable about a rotation axis in a longitudinal direction of the first coupling member, whereby it is possible to provide an advantageous effect of simultaneously storing and charging multiple drones on sides, and it is particularly possible to provide an advantageous effect of charging and storing a large number of drones used in swarm flight technology, which has recently become increasingly useful.
