摘要:
An autonomous guided parachute system for cargo drops that divides the requirements of guidance and soft landing into separate parachutes. Said invention includes a high wing-loaded ram air parachute for guidance, a larger round parachute for soft landing, a harness/container system, flight computer, position sensors and actuation system. The system is dropped from an airplane, a predetermined period of drogue fall ensures a stable position prior to deploying the guidance parachute. The flight controller determines a heading to intersect with an area substantially above the desired target and controls the guidance parachute via pneumatic actuators connected to the parachutes steering lines to fly on that heading. At a minimum altitude prior to the systems impact with the ground the flight computer transitions the system from the fast high performance guidance parachute to a larger landing parachute by releasing the guidance parachute to static line extract and deploy the landing parachute. If the system reaches a position substantially above target area prior to the parachute transition altitude flight computer controls the system into a spiral dive or other rapid altitude dropping maneuver until the transition altitude is reached. Once transitioned to the landing parachute the system descends for a brief period unguided under the landing parachute until touchdown.

The invention relates to an aerospace system designed to put payloads into low and medium orbits. After taking off from an aerodrome, a plane comprising the launcher with the payload heads at cruising speed for the launching area, where it performs a dive; after reaching its maximum speed, the plane rotates. At the end of the rotation, the angle of attack is modified in order to obtain conditions close to zero gravity; the launcher is then released from the plane, in such a way that it lags behind the plane, is subsequently rotated at 10-30 DEG with respect to the vertical plane, and the sustainer motors are turned on. The launcher is released when the parameters of the trajectory correspond to the initial conditions that allow the launcher to put into orbit a maximum payload. During the release of the launcher, the plane is stabilized in an inertial coordinate system.

A method for a winch system (120) includes receiving, from a controller (150), instructions to spool a payload line (130), the payload line (130) comprising a first end and a second end, the first end (130a) coupled to a main reel (210) of the winch system (120) and the second end (130b) configured to couple to a payload (160). The method further includes operating, based on the instructions, one or more of a first motor (270) of the winch system (120) and a second motor (310) of the winch system, wherein the one or more of the first motor (270) and the second motor (310) are operated in order to control a position of the second end of the payload line (130b).

An example tote package is disclosed for carrying a load external to a UAV. The tote package may be generated by folding a sheet of material. The sheet may include a middle section, a first side section, and a second side section. When the sheet is folded, the middle section may create a bottom portion of the tote package. Additionally, the first side section may create a first side portion tapering up from the edge of the bottom portion to the middle of the top portion of the tote package. Furthermore, the second side section may create a second side portion tapering up from the opposite edge to the middle of the top portion. At the top portion, the first and second sections may connect to create a handle. The first side, second side, and middle sections may be folded to create front and back portions of the tote package.
摘要:
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Verfahren zum Abwerfen eines, bei dem der Flugkörper (2) unter einer fliegenden Plattform (4) während eines Tragflugs hängt. Im Tragflug ist der Flugkörper (2) über eine am Flugkörperrumpf (14) befindliche Koppeleinheit (8) mit einer an der Unterseite der Plattform (4) befindlichen Aufhängung (6) verbunden. Um eine stabile aerodynamische Konfiguration bei einem Abwurf des Flugkörpers (2) von der Plattform (4) zu erreichen, wird vorgeschlagen, dass während des Tragflugs zumindest ein auf der der Koppeleinheit (8) abgewandten Hälfte des Flugkörperrumpfes (14) angeordneter Flügel (18) in einer Tragflugstellung gehalten wird, in der seine Ausdehnung in radiale Richtung kleiner als diejenige eines zumindest auf der der Koppeleinheit (8) zugeordneten Hälfte des Flugkörperrumpfes (14) angeordneter Flügel (16) des Flugkörpers (2) ist, der Flugkörper (2) von der Plattform (4) abgeworfen wird und der Flugkörper (2) nach dem Abwurf den zumindest einen auf der der Koppeleinheit (8) abgewandten Hälfte des Flugkörperrumpfes (14) angeordneten Flügel (18) aus seiner Tragflugstellung in eine Eigenflugstellung bewegt, in der seine Ausdehnung in radiale Richtung auf die Größe des zumindest einen auf der der Koppeleinheit (8) zugeordneten Hälfte des Flugkörperrumpfes angeordneten, in seiner Größe unverändert gebliebenen Flügels (16) vergrößert ist.
摘要:
An airdrop platform comprises a load-carrying base (10) having an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface includes attachment points (14) for one or more parachutes. The load-carrying base (10) is formed from a material, such as a glass fibre reinforced plastics material in the form of a grating, which is such as to flex to absorb energy on changes of the energy of the platform under the forces applied to the base (10) on parachute opening and on landing.
