Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a wing assembly that is coupled to a cargo carrying pod. The pod has a pallet storage volume and an aerodynamic outer surface. The wing assembly has wings that are coupled to rotor booms that include motors and rotors. A tail assembly is coupled to tail booms that extend back from the wings. Rudders are coupled to the rear portions of the tail booms and an elevator is coupled to top portions of the rudders. The elevator is at least 84 inches high and the rudders are at least 48 apart so that a forklift can drive under the elevator and between the rudders to a rear door of the pod to place cargo on a pallet into the storage area of the pod.

Abstract: A tethered unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) may be outfitted with a sensor payload for data gathering. The tethered UAV may be tethered to a ground station for constricting the flight space of the UAV while also providing the option for power delivery and/or bidirectional communications. The tethered UAV's flight path may be extended by introducing one or more secondary UAVs that cooperate to extend the horizontal flight path of a primary UAV. The ground station, which may be coupled with the tethered aerial vehicle, may comprise a listening switch configured to determine a condition of the tether such that the supply of power to the tether may be terminated when tether damage or a tether severance is detected.
