Abstract:
Systems and methods include UAVs that serve to assist carrier personnel by reducing the physical demands of the transportation and delivery process. A UAV generally includes a UAV chassis including an upper portion, a plurality of propulsion members configured to provide lift to the UAV chassis, and a parcel carrier configured for being selectively coupled to and removed from the UAV chassis. UAV support mechanisms are utilized to load and unload parcel carriers to the UAV chassis, and the UAV lands on and takes off from the UAV support mechanism to deliver parcels to a serviceable point. The UAV includes computing entities that interface with different systems and computing entities to send and receive various types of information.

Claim (Index 1):
An enhanced parcel delivery system for delivering parcels via an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the system comprising:\n a UAV support mechanism comprising:\n a pair of opposing rails extending in a longitudinal direction, wherein the opposing rails are spaced apart from one another in a lateral direction that is transverse to the longitudinal direction, the opposing rails defining:\n a landing region; \n a takeoff region positioned opposite the landing region; \n a transport region positioned between the takeoff region and the landing region; and \n \n at least one UAV comprising:\n a UAV chassis comprising:\n an upper portion having an upper portion width evaluated in a lateral direction; \n a lower portion positioned below the upper portion in a vertical direction, the lower portion having a lower portion width evaluated in the lateral direction; and \n a reduced width portion positioned between the upper portion and the lower portion, the reduced width portion having a width evaluated in the lateral direction, wherein the width of the reduced width portion is less than the upper portion width and the lower portion width, and wherein the reduced width portion is configured to engage the pair of opposing rails of the UAV support mechanism.
