Steerable dependent vehicle for unmanned aerial vehicles

A system comprising:

• a primary unmanned aerial vehicle comprising a bay configured to receive and secure a dependent unmanned aerial vehicle therein;
• and
• the dependent unmanned aerial vehicle configured to deliver a payload from the primary unmanned aerial vehicle, the dependent unmanned aerial vehicle comprising:
• a body defining a payload holding region configured to contain the payload;
• a delivery mechanism at least partially enclosing the payload holding region and configured to control access to the payload holding region for release of the payload;
• a coupling mechanism configured to couple the body to the primary unmanned aerial vehicle;
• and
• a control feature configured to change a flight characteristic of the body;
• wherein the dependent unmanned aerial vehicle is exposed to the external environment when positioned within the bay of the primary unmanned aerial vehicle.

A system comprising:

• a primary unmanned aerial vehicle comprising a bay configured to receive and secure a dependent unmanned aerial vehicle;
• and
• the dependent unmanned aerial vehicle coupled to the primary unmanned aerial vehicle, the dependent unmanned aerial vehicle comprising a payload holding region configured to contain a payload, the payload holding region enclosed at least partially by a delivery mechanism configured to control access to the payload holding region for release of the payload;
• wherein the dependent unmanned aerial vehicle is exposed to the external environment when positioned within the bay of the primary unmanned aerial vehicle;
• and
• wherein the primary unmanned aerial vehicle is configured to adjust macro positions of the dependent unmanned aerial vehicle and the dependent unmanned aerial vehicle is configured to adjust micro positions of the dependent unmanned aerial vehicle separate from the macro positions.
