Abstract: This disclosure describes a configuration of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) landing gear assembly that includes adjustable landing gear extension that may be extended or contracted so that the body of the UAV is contained in a horizontal plane when the UAV is landed, even on sloping surfaces. For example, when a UAV is landing, the slope of the surface may be determined and the landing gear extensions adjusted based on the slope so that the body of the UAV remains approximately horizontal when the UAV lands and is supported by the landing gear extensions.

Abstract translation: 本公开描述了无人机（UAV）起落架组件的构造，其包括可调节的起落架延伸部，其可以被延伸或收缩，使得当UAV降落时UAV的车身包含在水平面中，即使在倾斜 表面。 例如，当UAV着陆时，可以确定表面的斜率，并且基于斜率来调整起落架延伸部，使得当UAV着陆并由起落架延伸部支撑时，UAV的车身保持大致水平。
