Abstract
Disclosed herein is a modular aerial vehicle system having a fuselage module configured to couple with a plurality of lift generation modules. The modular aerial vehicle system may comprise a fuselage module and a lift generation module. The fuselage module can include a first attachment interface, an avionics system operatively coupled with a power unit (e.g., via an ESC), and a communications system operatively coupled with the flight controller. The lift generation module can include a second attachment interface and a plurality of propulsors. The fuselage module may be configured to removably couple with the lift generation module via the first and second attachment interfaces. The first and second attachment interfaces may comprise (1) a plurality of electrical contacts to facilitate electrical communication between the fuselage module and the lift generation module and/or (2) one or more retention devices to couple structurally the lift generation module with said fuselage module.
