An uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a support extending along a flight direction of the UAV. The support includes an elongate structural member, a cap coupled to a front end of the elongate structural member, and an energy absorber. The support extends along an axis that runs through the support from a front end to a rear end. The cap is coupled to the front end of the elongate structural member. The cap includes a support platform that has a front surface opposite the elongate structural member and that extends outward from the axis. The energy absorber is disposed on the front surface of the support platform and includes a crushable material configured to absorb energy under impact. The UAV also includes a first propeller unit coupled to the support.

A landing gear assembly for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a shock tower, a pair of leg members, and suspension assemblies. The shock tower is adapted to mount to a frame of a fuselage of the UAV and includes upper and lower end mounts. The leg members are adapted to extend out from opposing sides of the lower end mounts. The leg members are flexible and each include an upper leg section pivotally mounted to the lower end mount and a lower leg section adapted to connect to a ground gear. The suspension assemblies are each mounted to and extend between the upper end mount and a corresponding one of the leg members. The suspension assemblies each include a damper and a spring.

A payload retrieval apparatus having a base, an autoloader assembly mounted to the base including: a payload holder configured to hold a payload for retrieval by a UAV, a channel coupled to the payload holder configured to direct a payload retriever suspended from the UAV to the payload holder, and a locking feature configured to lock access to the payload on the payload holder that includes has a movable end that extends through a wall of the channel into an interior of the channel, wherein when the payload retriever contacts the movable end of the locking member, the movable end moves outwardly thereby unlocking the payload on the payload holder, wherein the payload holder is positioned such that when the payload retriever exits the channel, the payload retriever engages a handle of the payload and removes the payload from the payload holder.
