Abstract: A vehicle control and interface system described herein assists an operator of an aerial vehicle with the operation of an aerial vehicle, including tailoring the positioning of aerial vehicle interfaces for a given pilot. A movable control interface of the system adapts aerial vehicle operation to varying physical features of operators by enabling the operator to choose a position of a touch screen interface (e.g., a height of the screen, distance in front of the pilot's seat, etc.) that is adjustable using a mechanical arm. The movable control interface can move a touch screen interface from a stowed position (e.g., away from a pilot seat and proximal to a dashboard towards the front of the cockpit) to an in-flight position (e.g., towards the pilot seat in a position that encourages an ergonomic position of the operator to reach the touch screen interface without straining their shoulder).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a mechanism inside of the tag which detaches the tag when presented to a detacher system containing a rotating magnet array that retracts the tag pin allowing the tag to be removed from the garment.

Abstract: A vehicle control and interface system described herein assists an operator of an aerial vehicle with the operation of an aerial vehicle, including navigating during flight. The system can generate a graphical user interface (GUI) through which an operator can specify navigation instructions (e.g., using finger gestures on a touch screen interface). In one example of controlling aerial vehicle navigation using a finger gesture, an operator swipes three fingers simultaneously upwards on a touchpad to increase the vertical speed of the aerial vehicle. The system can update the GUI to show, via a digital avatar of the aerial vehicle, the changing orientation of the aerial vehicle in substantially real time. The GUI may depict representations of the aerial vehicle's environment absent of objects at the surface of the earth or natural features at the earth's surface (e.g., rivers, canyons, mountains, etc.) to reduce a mental strain taken by an operator when using the GUI.

Abstract: A vehicle control and interface system described herein assists an operator of an aerial vehicle with the operation of an aerial vehicle, including preparing for flight. A vehicle control and interface system partially or fully automates a procedure for preparing an aerial vehicle for flight, which is referred to herein as engine startup. The engine startup can include safety and accuracy verifications before and after starting an aerial vehicle's engine. The system can check engine parameters (e.g., turbine rotational speeds, engine torque, engine oil pressure), cabin parameters (e.g., a status of seat belts or a current weight of passengers and cargo within the cabin), fuel load, an area around the aerial vehicle (e.g., using cameras to determine that the area is clear of objects before takeoff), any suitable measurement that impacts safe aerial vehicle operations, or a combination thereof.
