Abstract
An unmanned aerial vehicle comprising an outer protective cage, a propulsion system mounted inside the outer protective cage, a sensor support system fixed on the outer protective cage and a sensor system coupled to the sensor support system. The sensor system is coupled to the sensor support system via a load-limiting coupling mechanism that comprises a spring coupling exerting an elastic bias against the sensor system towards a normal operating position, the sensor system being retractable into the outer protective cage against the elastic bias of the spring coupling upon collision with an external object.
