Abstract
An unmanned aerial system for transporting and delivering packages, comprises an unmanned motorized aircraft and a non-motorized aerostatic device having aerostatic lift and being able to be coupled to the motorized aircraft, for transporting at least one package from a take-off site to a delivery site. This aerial system cooperates with a site for storing and distributing aerostatic modules each having a predetermined modular aerostatic lift, the storage and distribution site being located in the vicinity of the take-off site and being configured to deliver a set of j aerostatic modules on demand, which modules are secured by coupling means, so as to supply an aerostatic device with static lift that is substantially greater than or equal to the overall weight of the package to be transported and of the aerostatic device.
