A rotorcraft and an automatic landing system and method thereof are provided in the present disclosure. The automatic landing system of the rotorcraft includes a controller, a laser emitter, a camera, an electronic governor and a motor configured to drive a propeller of the rotorcraft to rotate. The laser emitter and the camera are both locate in a bottom portion of an airframe of the rotorcraft. The laser emitter has two emission heads, laser beams emitted from the two emission heads respectively are symmetrical about a central axis, the central axis is perpendicular to a horizontal plane of a ground, and an angle between each laser beam and the central axis is an acute angle. Simply with an operation of the laser emitter, the camera and the controller, the flight speed and displacement of the rotorcraft can be controlled to realize automatic landing in the present disclosure.

Disclosed is a configuration to control automatic return of an aerial vehicle. The configuration stores a return location in a storage device of the aerial vehicle. The return location may correspond to a location where the aerial vehicle is to return. One or more sensors of the aerial vehicle are monitored during flight for detection of a predefined condition. When a predetermined condition is met a return path program may be loaded for execution to provide a return flight path for the aerial vehicle to automatically navigate to the return location.

This invention relates to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle hereinafter called “Mother UAV” member (11) capable of carrying modules of Sub Unmanned Aerial Vehicle members (12) hereinafter called “Sub UAV” member. More particularly, the method and system that is capable of communicating via satellite and remote control technology wherein ejecting said Sub UAV members (12) from the Mother UAV member (11) wherein Sub UAV members (12) autonomously fly in sequence in a coordinated manner with the Mother UAV member (11), and capable of engaging in multiple missions in high, medium, low altitude, and surface, also communication with under sea submarines (27). Further, comprises of a method and system that the Sub UAV members (12) are able to return back to the Mother UAV member (11) after the mission is completed and be firmly secured to the flatbed (14) of the Mother UAV member (11). The present invention is specifically designed for multifunctional and multipurpose applications where humans and other vehicles are unable to access, for civil, commercial and military purposes.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a system includes an unmanned, multirotor helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft. The multirotor helicopter may couple to the fixed-wing aircraft to support and hold the fixed-wing aircraft. The multirotor helicopter may then elevate the fixed-wing aircraft from a launch site to a release altitude. The multirotor helicopter may also accelerate the fixed-wing aircraft to a release speed and upon reaching the release speed, release the fixed-wing aircraft. The unmanned, multirotor helicopter may then return to the launch site.
