Claim 3:
4. A method of replacing components of an unmanned aerial vehicle, the method comprising:
detaching a first power module from an anchor structure, the anchor structure housed within a fuselage of the unmanned aerial vehicle;
detaching a first wing structure from the unmanned aerial vehicle by unseating a first mounting bracket of the first wing structure from a portion of the anchor structure, the anchor structure being configured for releasable coupling with the first mounting bracket;
attaching a second wing structure to the unmanned aerial vehicle by seating a second mounting bracket of the second wing structure on the portion of anchor structure, the anchor structure being further configured for releasable coupling with the second mounting bracket; and
attaching a second power module to the anchor structure;
wherein, absent the detaching of the first power module from the anchor structure, a weight of the first power module on the first wing structure operates to inhibit the unseating of the first mounting bracket from the anchor structure.
