An aerial vehicle system includes a flight system configured to generate propulsive force and lift, a protective framework, and an attachment mechanism secured to the protective framework and configured to selectively attach to a structure to provide stable perching of the aerial vehicle system. The attachment mechanism is an electro-permanent magnet device or a talon-like grip. The flight system is at least partially enclosed by the protective framework.
