摘要： An autonomous cargo container retrieval and delivery system locates a select cargo container and maneuvers an unmanned aerial vehicle proximate to the container for retrieval. The vehicle positions itself to engage the cargo container using a grasping mechanism, and, responsive to engaging the cargo container, retracts the cargo container toward the vehicle. As the cargo container is retracted toward the vehicle, weight sensors within the retrieval mechanism sense the weight and the weight distribution of the cargo container, and, can modify the cargo container's location on the vehicle to optimize vehicle flight operations or replace the container on the ground and alert the operator that the cargo container is too heavy or has an improper weight distribution. Upon mating the cargo container with the vehicle, a coupling mechanism latches or secures the cargo container to the vehicle for further flight and/or ground operations.

摘要： To provide a rotary wing aircraft capable of self-leveling and ensuring a stable landing state. The rotary wing aircraft according to the present disclosure comprises a plurality of rotary blades, an arm part for supporting the plurality of rotary blades, a mounting part for mounting an object, and a connecting part for connecting the mounting part to the arm part in a state where the mounting part is movable within a predetermined range. The position of the connecting part of the rotary wing aircraft of the present disclosure is above the center of gravity of the arm part. Thereby, self-leveling is made possible and a stable landing state can be ensured.

摘要： A center C of a connecting portion coincides with a center U of lift generated in a body of a rotary-wing aircraft. The center C of the connecting portion is a point of action of gravitational force of a support rod and a first mounting portion with respect to the connecting portion. The center U of the lift is a point of action of the lift on the rotary-wing aircraft and is the center of rotation of the connecting portion.

摘要： Installation of powered actuators in the leading edge of a control surface in order to have a better weight distribution. The systems described herein propose an actuation system with a static ground structure used to move a control surface of an aircraft. The actuation system, and the ground structure are aligned with the center of rotation of the control surface, providing the aircraft with flutter suppression. This proposal is an approach to use the actuator in a place favorable to the mass balancing and reducing or even dismissing the usage of mass balancing, saving weight and cost.

摘要： According to one aspect of the present disclosure, an apparatus for shifting a center of gravity of an aircraft is disclosed. The apparatus includes a propulsion component, a moveable ballast component, and an assembly configured to translate the moveable ballast component. The propulsion component is configured to assist in transitioning the aircraft between a first mobility phase and a second mobility phase. The assembly is configured to translate the moveable ballast component between an aft position and a forward position of the aircraft based on the aircraft transitioning between the first mobility phase and the second mobility phase to shift the center of gravity of the aircraft along a longitudinal axis of the aircraft.

摘要： Systems, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products that facilitate measuring weight and balance and optimizing center of gravity are provided. In one embodiment, a system 100 utilizes a processor 106 that executes computer implemented components stored in a memory 104. A compression component 108 calculates compression of landing gear struts based on height above ground of an aircraft. A gravity component 110 determines center of gravity based on differential compression of the landing gear struts. An optimization component 112 automatically optimizes the center of gravity to a rear limit of a center of gravity margin.

摘要： Systems and methods for an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) capable of automatically balancing large and heavy objects for transport through a facility. One embodiment is an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) including a balancing plate configured to support a load, load sensors configured to detect a weight distribution of the load, and an actuator configured to shift the balancing plate laterally. The AGV also includes a weight balancing controller configured to determine a center of gravity of the load based on the weight distribution detected by the load sensors, to determine that the center of gravity of the load is vertically misaligned with a center of gravity of the AGV, and to direct the actuator to shift the balancing plate laterally to move the center of gravity of the load toward vertical alignment with the center of gravity of the AGV.

摘要： An aerial vehicle (10) has an aerial platform (12) that supports lift elements (11), an engine (14) and a fuel supply (15) and that has a coupling mechanism (16) adapted for coupling to a removable load (17). The lift elements include a soft or flexible wing (11) flexibly coupled to the aerial platform at points of suspension on opposite sides of the aerial platform whose location (A, B) relative to a longitudinal axis of the platform is such that the aerial platform and the attached load has a center of gravity (C.G.) which maintains balance of the aerial platform. An adjustment system (18) is coupled to the points of suspension and is operative for moving the points of suspension relative to the longitudinal axis of the platform when cargo is unloaded from the flying platform to preserve balance.
