Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a controlled aerial vehicle (100). The controlled aerial vehicle (100) includes a frame (102) defining housing. The frame (102) is configured to house a control module of the controlled aerial vehicle (100). Further, the controlled aerial vehicle (100) includes a plurality of elongated arms (104a, 104b, 104c, 104d) extending outwardly from the frame (102). Further, the vehicle (100) is provided with one or more landing structures (110a, 110b) coupled to the bottom surface (102b) of the frame (102) for providing support for the aerial vehicle during landing and take-off. Furthermore, a mounting means (114) is releasably connectable to the frame configured to receive and support a payload or imaging module (112). The present disclosure provides a controlled aerial vehicle configuration with the payload or imaging module (112) having more clearance to protect the payload during the event of a crash.
