Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods directed to suspended propulsion systems for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are provided. A system may include a UAV having a body and a center of gravity (CG), and a suspended propulsion system coupled to the UAV. The suspended propulsion system may include a power source for the UAV, and a harness coupled to the UAV to suspend at least a portion of the power source under the CG of the UAV. The harness may be a rigid or flexible harness configured to decouple an inertia of the suspended propulsion system from an inertia of the UAV. Additional systems and related methods are also provided.
