An aerial vehicle may be equipped with propulsion modules that include motors, sensors, transceivers, controllers, power sources or other components therein. The propulsion modules may be releasably mounted to the aerial vehicle in a manner that allows a propulsion module to be removed and replaced when one or more of the components within the propulsion module requires maintenance or repairs, thereby enabling the aerial vehicle to return to service promptly. The propulsion modules may communicate via wired or wireless means with one another, or with a central computer system onboard the aerial vehicle. The propulsion modules may be interchangeably installed on each of the aerial vehicles in a class, or on aerial vehicles in different classes. Furthermore, aerial vehicles may be equipped with varying numbers of propulsion modules, as needed, subject to one or more operational requirements or constraints.
