Abstract: Aircraft and related methods are disclosed. In one example, an aircraft comprises an airframe comprising one or more wings, one or more pusher rotors supported by the airframe, and one or more puller rotors supported by the airframe, wherein the one or more puller rotors are positioned behind the one or more pusher rotors. In another example, a method for loading cargo on to an aircraft comprises loading cargo into a fuselage of the aircraft through an upper forward portion of the fuselage.

Abstract: An aircraft rotor assembly comprises first and second rotors and a drive assembly. The first and second rotors are rotatable about a common axis synchronously and with respect to each other. The first rotor has a first blade extending radially from the common axis; the second rotor has a second blade extending radially from the common axis, longitudinally offset from the first blade along the common axis. The drive assembly is coupled to the first and second rotors and configured to controllably vary, during continuous rotation of the first and second rotors, a differential phase angle separating the first and second blades as projected onto a plane perpendicular to the common axis.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system that comprises an imaging sensor coupled to a robot. The system also comprises an imaging module configured to capture images of a scene within a field of view of the imaging sensor, which is coupled to the robot. The system further comprises an image-processing module configured to process the captured images to identify an object above a horizon in the scene within the field of view of the imaging sensor. The system additionally comprises a tracking module configured to track a trajectory of the object based on the captured images to determine positions of the object relative to the robot.

Abstract: A navigation system for an aircraft includes a light source, a light sensor, one or more processors, and a computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the navigation system to perform functions. The functions include illuminating a surface using the light source to cause light to be reflected from the surface and detecting the light and generating data representing the light using the light sensor. The data maps intensities of the light to respective positions on the surface. The functions further include identifying within the data a subset of the data that corresponds to a border and causing navigation of the aircraft based on a position of the border indicated by the subset of the data.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, system, and computer program product for navigating an aircraft. Information indicative of a result of a scan of an environment around the aircraft is received by a computer system for landmarks. Bearings of the landmarks and locations of the landmarks are determined by the computer system. A current position of the aircraft is estimated by the computer system using the bearings of the landmarks and the locations of the landmarks. A set of actions to be performed is determined to guide the aircraft based on the current position of the aircraft is performed by the computer system.

Abstract: A battery cooling system is described, including a thermally conductive cooling plate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A first group of battery cells may be disposed on the first surface of the cooling plate, a second group of battery cells may be disposed on the second surface of the cooling plate, and a thermally conductive interstitial layer may be coupled between the cooling plate and the first group of battery cells, and between the cooling plate and the second group of battery cells. The cooling plate is configured to draw heat from the first group and the second group of the battery cells.

Abstract: In an example, a method of generating flight paths for navigating an aircraft is provided. The method includes hovering the aircraft at a predetermined hover point. The predetermined hover point corresponds to a first takeoff waypoint of a first trajectory of the aircraft. The method includes scanning at least a portion of a first flight path of the first trajectory. The method includes determining that an obstacle obstructs the first flight path of the first trajectory. The first flight path begins at the first takeoff waypoint. The method includes determining a second takeoff waypoint. Determining the second takeoff waypoint includes assigning the first flight path to begin at the second takeoff waypoint. The method includes changing the first flight path of the first trajectory in accordance with the second takeoff waypoint, thereby forming a second flight path of a second trajectory. The method includes causing the aircraft to follow the second flight path of the second trajectory from the second takeoff waypoint.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for processing images. A featureless surface is detected during at least a portion of a flight of an aircraft. A pattern is displayed in a fixed location on the featureless surface while the featureless surface is in a field of view of a camera system carried by the aircraft during at least the portion of the flight of the aircraft. Images of the featureless surface with the pattern in the fixed location using the camera system are generated during at least the portion of the flight of the aircraft.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems to allow an operator to sense, for example, distance of a component from a component connector. The systems include a transmitter associated with the component connector, and a feedback device operable to contact the operator. The feedback device comprises a receiver operable to receive signals transmitted by the transmitter, and an actuator operable to provide haptic feedback to the operator in which, for example, strength, manner, or strength and manner of actuation of the actuator is determined by strength of the signals received by the receiver. Typically, the systems further allow the operator to engage the component to the component connector. Other aspects of the present disclosure provide various methods of allowing an operator to sense, for example, distance of a component from a component connector and to related computer readable media.
