Abstract:
1. An unmanned aircraft airframe system comprising: a first planar side wall; a second planar side wall positioned vertically parallel to the first planar side wall; a drive train platform configured to carry an aircraft drive train and to attach the first planar side wall parallel to the second planar side wall; a first structural rod configured to attach the first planar side wall vertically parallel to the planar second side wall; and a second structural rod positioned aft of the first structural rod and configured to attach the first planar side wall vertically parallel to the second planar side wall, wherein the first and second structural rods are configured to carry a camera mount, wherein the first and the second structural rods are configured to provide rigidity to a forward section of the airframe system, wherein the first structural rod comprises a first piston attachment point and wherein the second structural rod comprises a second piston attachment point, wherein the camera mount is mounted onto the first structural rod via a first piston, and the camera mount is mounted onto the second structural rod via a second piston, and wherein the first and the second pistons do not extend past a cowling covering the unmanned aircraft airframe system.
