APPARATUS FOR LAUNCHING UNMANNED AIRCRAFT An apparatus (525) for launching an unmanned aircraft (140), comprises a first launch member (527) and a second launch member (528) positioned at least proximate to the first launch member. At least one of the first and second launch members (527, 528) is movable relative to the other between a first position and a second position. The apparatus (525) further comprises a launch carriage (526) having an aircraft support positioned to releasably carry an unmanned aircraft (140) during a takeoff operation, the launch carriage (526) touching the launch members (527, 528) between a first launch carriage location and a second launch carriage location as the at least one of the first and second launch members (527, 528) moves from the first position to the second position. The launch carriage (526) moves in a first direction between the first launch carriage location and the second launch carriage location. At least one launch member (527, 528) moves in a second direction transverse to the first direction between the first position and the second position. AH25(8913457_1):DAH
