Abstract: A recharging system operable to supply power to a rechargeable battery onboard an aerial vehicle. The recharging system includes conductive contacts onboard an aerial vehicle and a landing platform including conductive regions, a charge sensor, and a power supply. The conductive contacts are polarized and located on the skids of the aerial vehicle. When then conductive contacts are received by the conductive regions, the charge sensor operates switches in order to connect a positively charged contact with the positive terminal of the power supply and the negatively charged contact with the negative terminal. Thus, the rechargeable battery is recharged by the power supply.
