Abstract: A gimbal configured to be implemented in an unmanned aerial system. The gimbal includes a payload interface; an end effector; a structure that includes composite skins, an internal structure, and integrated seals; integrated drive components; and at least one computer, where excess heat generated by the at least one computer is disposed of through a heat transfer surface integrated into the composite skin of the gimbal.

Abstract: A vectored thrust control module for an aircraft that includes a servo system that couples to the aircraft structure at an output shaft connection point. A thrust motor assembly is fully supported by the servo system and rotates a bladed component to provide thrust to the aircraft. Further, the thrust motor assembly is rigidly connected with the servo system to rotate together about a longitudinal axis thrust line with respect to the aircraft structure. The bladed component and the thrust motor assembly generate a line of thrust that extends through the connection point of the servo system to the aircraft structure.
