Abstract: Locking line capture devices for unmanned aircraft, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A representative system includes a line capture body having a line slot with an open end and closed end, and a retainer positioned proximate the line slot and movable between first position in which the retainer blocks access to the line slot and a second position in which the retainer allows access to the line slot. A locking device is operably coupled between the capture body and the retainer and is movable between an unlocked position to allow movement of the retainer between the first and second positions, and a locked position to block such movement. A release device is operably coupled to the locking device and movable between a secured position with the locking device secured in the locked position, and a released position with the locking device movable between the locked and unlocked positions.

Abstract: A reusable frangible joint includes a first part having a hemispherical convex surface, and a second part defined by a reversely identical mating hemispherical concave surface. The convex and concave surfaces of the joint are secured and held together in compression until a predetermined applied load causes the joint to fail. The joint includes at least one replaceable fastener that rigidly secures and holds the respective concave and convex surfaces together. The fastener, designed to be the only part of the joint configured to fail, is sheared apart under the predetermined load, which results in separation of the concave and convex parts from one another irrespective of from which direction or to which part the impact load is applied. The failed fastener can then be replaced, wherein the frangible joint becomes immediately reusable, as having incurred no other damage by the impact load.

Abstract: Locking line capture devices for unmanned aircraft are disclosed. An example line capture device is configured to be attached to a wing of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The example line capture device includes a body having a line capture slot. The line capture slot has an open end and a closed end. The example line capture device further includes a retainer having a first lobe, a second lobe, and a third lobe. The retainer is movable relative to the body between a first position in which the first and third lobes are positioned on opposite sides of the line capture slot and the second lobe is positioned over the line capture slot, and a second position in which the first and second lobes are positioned over the line capture slot and the third lobe is positioned clear of the line capture slot.
