摘要: An unmanned aerial vehicle with deployable components (UAVDC) is disclosed. The UAVDC may comprise a fuselage, at least one wing, and control surface. In some embodiments, the further propulsion means and/or modular payload. be configured in plurality of arrangements. For example, compact arrangement, wing stowed against fuselage surface fuselage. deployed from an expanded telescoped to increase wingspan arrangement. also foldable propeller blade locking mechanism. Foldable blades have configuration configuration, pivot about hinge move between configurations. A experience forward folding motion due forces acting upon it. mechanism—for ratchet pawl—may lock into configuration. locked that locks place prevent tendency.
