  • Publication number: 20200207466
    Abstract: The present invention provides a power device generating greater propelling force and finds that traditional power devices do not include all propelling forces based on the fundamental core propelling force source problem. External pressure is guided to the traditional power devices since the inner speed is higher the outer speed, power consumption for overcoming fluid resistance is high, and mutual contradiction results are obtained.

  • Publication number: 20190283857
    Abstract: The invention discloses a flight vehicle generating a lift from an interior thereof. The fluid channel inside the flight vehicle communicates with the engine and the ports on the upper surface of the outer shell. With the powerful suction of the engine, the fluid on the upper surface of the outer shell is quickly sucked into the fluid channel via respective ports under conditions of long path, large area, high speed and low air pressure, which results in large lift from the interior of the flight vehicle. In the course of generating the lift, the fluid resistances of the fluid wall and the fluid hole are sucked into the fluid channel through the ports at the front and the surrounding area of the flight vehicle, then high-speed fluid is emitted from the rear port. This approach contributes greatly to the transformation of the existing flight vehicle. The present invention significantly improves the lift, the speed and the carrying capacity of the existing flight vehicle with lowered energy consumption.

Images may be obtained during motion or hover modes of the UAV. The UAV may determine whether stabilizing a line of the image causes a breach of an image crop margin. That is, the UAV may estimate or begin to adjust image distortion and crop the image, and may evaluate during or after the estimation/adjustment whether an image crop margin is breached by the result. The UAV may reduce stabilizing of the line of the image in response to determining that stabilizing the line of the image causes a breach of the image crop margin.
