    摘要: A method involves operating an aerial vehicle in a hover-flight orientation. The aerial vehicle is connected to a tether that defines a tether sphere having a radius based on a length of the tether, and the tether is connected to a ground station. The method involves positioning the aerial vehicle at a first location that is substantially on the tether sphere. The method involves transitioning the aerial vehicle from the hover-flight orientation to a forward-flight orientation, such that the aerial vehicle moves from the tether sphere. And the method involves operating the aerial vehicle in the forward-flight orientation to ascend at an angle of ascent to a second location that is substantially on the tether sphere. The first and second locations are substantially downwind of the ground station.

    摘要: The solution proposed refers to a flight control unit (6) for tied models (1) (copters; UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that provides for direct flight control using mechanical or electronic guiding link (2) between the guiding point (3) and the model (1). The mechanical execution of the guiding point (3) and the guiding link (2) can consist of a whipcord, wire, electrical cable etc.; the electronic type of guiding link (2) is then representing the line with an acoustic or electromagnetic signal, a light beam etc. The unit may be completed with data communication to specify the position coordinates of the guiding point (3) and the model (1) in more detail. The solution proposed provides for fully automated navigation of the model (1) to a required position in reference of the guiding point (3), without imposing higher level of skills on the pilot (4) or the necessity to know the movement path trajectory in advance as it is the case in wireless remote control of the model (1), or its flight programming.

    摘要: A robotic or remotely controlled flying platform (10) with reduced drag stabilizing control apparatus constructed having an air duct (12) with an air intake (14) on the top and an exhaust (16) at the bottom, containing supported therein a clockwise rotating fan (22) and a counter-clockwise rotating fan (24). Directly below the perimeter of the air duct exhaust are mounted a plurality of trough shaped air deflection assemblies (32) each including a rotatably adjustable half trough (44) for selectively scooping a portion of the drive air, and a stationary adjacent half trough (36) for receiving the scooped drive air and redirecting it outward and upward from the air duct. A centrally positioned plate (112) has a plurality of rods (106), each pivotably connected between the plate (74) and a corresponding lever associated with each of the adjustable half troughs (44) so as to couple the adjustable half trough (44) in or out of the drive air steam according to the position of the plate (74), thereby providing control over the pitch and roll of the flying platform. The plate is driven by first and second motors responding to input control signals. The control signals also direct the yaw of the flying platform by selectively providing independent speed control to each of the clockwise and counter clockwise fan motors resulting in duct rotation in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction accordingly.

    摘要: A flying platform (10), propelled by at least one ducted fan (11) causing a vertically downwardly directed airstream in and through a cylindrical duct (12). A vane system in the duct (12) has two mutually perpendicular pairs (31-34) of diametrically opposite first vanes, each extending in from the duct rim toward the center of the duct. Each pair of first vanes provides a pair of generally vertical walls parallel to a diametral line across the duct, and they define duct passages between the pairs of vanes and define quadrants between adjacent pairs. Each first vane has an upper, fixed, rigid portion and a variable camber flap (45, 46) depending therefrom. A first servomotor with linkages vary the camber of each pair of flaps (45, 46), so that the camber of the flaps (45, 46) of each pair is at all times the same amount but in opposite directions. Preferably, there are also four second vanes (41-44), one bisecting each quadrant, and a symmetric pair of spoilers (75-82) is mounted on each second vane (41-44). Each pair of spoilers (75-82) is independently movable, as a pair continuously between a position substantially blocking airflow through the outer portion of said quadrant and a position permitting substantially full airflow therethrough. A second servomotor with linkages symmetrically varies the position of its spoilers (75-82). There may be a radio receiver responsive to remote control signals for actuating each servo­motor and its linkages.
