Abstract: Various embodiments are described of an unmanned aerial vehicle having a wing. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes a first body of the wing with a first end proximate a body of the vehicle. A second end is opposite the first end. A first joint is on the first end of the first main body of the wing. The joint rotatably couples the wing to the vehicle. A second joint is on the second end of the vehicle. A second body of the wing is rotatably coupled to the first body via the second joint.

Abstract: There is provided a portable, electrically powered debris blower that includes a noise reducing and energy efficient design. The debris blower includes a blower that is powered by a portable power supply, such as electrochemical battery cells. The blower includes an air intake, a curved blower housing that acts as an air inlet guide tube, an axial fan, and an air exhaust. To reduce noise and vibration output from the blower, the blower further includes a noise and vibration reducing material covering the inside walls of the blower, vibration and noise isolating mounts supporting the axial fan within the blower, and the air inlet is angled towards the ground with respect to the axis of the axial fan.

Abstract: A system comprising an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having wing elements and tail elements configured to roll to angularly orient the UAV by rolling so as to align a longitudinal plane of the UAV, in its late terminal phase, with a target. A method of UAV body re-orientation comprising: (a) determining by a processor a boresight angle error correction value bases on distance between a target point and a boresight point of a body-fixed frame; and (b) effecting a UAV maneuver comprising an angular role rate component translating the target point to a re-oriented target point in the body-fixed frame, to maintain the offset angle via the offset angle correction value.
