AERIAL LAUNCH AND/OR RECOVERY FOR UNMANNED AIRCRAFT, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS Aerial launch and/or recovery for unmanned aircraft, and associated systems and methods. A representative method for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system includes directing a first multi-rotor carrier aircraft (101) to carry a second carried aircraft (120) aloft, and release the second aircraft (120) for flight, while powering the first aircraft (101) with an on board battery (104). The method can further include directing the first aircraft (101) to position a capture line (106) in a flight path of the second aircraft (120) to capture the second aircraft (120). 100 122 f t0 120 r 12 1 141 144 1106143 F!20
