| 摘要 | An automated aerial vehicle (“AAV”) and systems, devices, and techniques pertaining to moveable ballast that is movable onboard the AAV during operation and/or flight. The AAV may include a frame or support structure that includes the movable ballast. A ballast controller may be used to cause movement of the ballast based on one or more factors, such as a type of flight, a type of operation of the AAV, a speed of the AAV, a triggering event, and/or other factors. The ballast may be moved using mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic, pneumatic, hydraulic and/or other devices/techniques described herein. In some embodiments, the ballast may be moved or located in or toward a centralized position in the AAV to enable more agile control of the AAV. The ballast may be moved outward from the centralized location of the AAV to enable more stable control of the AAV. | ||||||
