US Patent 9834311 Uninhabited airborne vehicle and method of controlling the same

The present invention is to prevent an uninhabited airborne vehicle from crashing due to fall impact and from being damaged and to protect an object and a living being at the fall point. The uninhabited airborne vehicle 100 includes a rotary wing 10 and a buffer 111 that reduces impact on the airframe when crashed. The battery charge remaining measurement module 122 and the distance measurement module 123 measure the battery charge remaining and the distance to an object, respectively, and compare the measurement with the respective thresholds. If the measurement is less than the respective thresholds, the buffer module 111 is driven by the drive module 121.
