Abstract: Embodiments described herein relates to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) having vibration dampening and isolation capabilities, the UAV including a first frame portion, a second frame portion, and a third frame portion. Each of the first frame portion, the second frame portion, and the third frame portion is separated from one another. At least one first support member inelastically coupling the first frame portion and the third frame portion. At least one second support member elastically coupling the second frame portion and one or more of the first frame portion or the third frame portion to isolate the first frame portion and the third frame portion from vibration of the second frame portion.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems of various embodiments are disclosed for operating a propeller assembly for use with a UAV. Various embodiments include a propeller assembly including a pivotal arm, a propeller mounted on the pivotal arm, and pivotal leg coupled to the pivotal arm. The pivotal leg may be folded into the pivotal arm and the pivotal arm may be folded into a body of the UAV. A processor may be coupled to the propeller assembly and configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations of the propeller assembly.
