FLIGHT CONTROL FOR FLIGHT-RESTRICTED REGIONS

摘要

Systems, methods, and devices are provided for providing flight response to flight-restricted regions. The location of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be compared with a location of a flight-restricted region. If needed a flight-response measure may be taken by the UAV to prevent the UAV from flying in a no-fly zone. Different flight-response measures may be taken based on the distance between the UAV and the flight-restricted region and the rules of a jurisdiction within which the UAV falls.

1. An unmanned aerial vehicle comprising:
one or more processors individually or collectively configured to (1) obtain a location of the unmanned aerial vehicle, (2) calculate a distance between the location of the unmanned aerial vehicle and a location of a flight restricted region, and (3) assess whether the distance falls within a distance threshold; and one or more propulsion units in communication with the one or more processors, the one or more propulsion units configured to (1) permit the unmanned aerial vehicle to take off when the distance exceeds the distance threshold and (2) prevent the unmanned aerial vehicle from taking off when the distance falls within the distance threshold.
