Abstract: A transit system for urban and inter-urban use is provided which comprises a plurality of electrically energized helicopters which are tethered to and powered from a pair of rails. The rails are supported in a track structure which is constructed to extend above the normal traffic on the streets and roadways. Power is supplied to each helicopter through a flexible cable which also serves to tether the helicopter to the track and which allows the helicopter a measure of vertical and horizontal movement. The cable is supported on a trolley which moves along the track, and the cable is retractable, so that it moves in and out of the helicopter, or trolley, as the helicopter is maneuvered.

Abstract: A transportation system combining the use of both a monorail and an airborne vehicle powered by electric motors from an electric power source located along the monorail. Rigid universally movable struts interconnect the vehicle with the monorail with electric cables housed by the struts for supplying electric current from a power source to the motors. Landing-loading platforms are located along designated locations at which the vehicle may be landed for the pick-up and discharge of passengers.

Abstract: A ground power unit provides electrical energy for aircraft and a method maintains and operates the ground power unit. The ground power unit includes a base frame, a cable system formed in the base frame, at least one rectifier module for converting an input alternating voltage applied to a rectifier module input side into an intermediate direct voltage output at a rectifier module output side, wherein the rectifier module output side is coupled to an intermediate circuit conductor and at least one inverter module for converting the intermediate direct voltage applied to an inverter module input side into an output alternating current output at an inverter module output side, wherein the inverter module input side is coupled to an intermediate circuit conductor. The rectifier module and the inverter module are each realized as structurally-independent units, which can be replaced individually and independently of the base frame.

Abstract: A surveillance drone system is provided herein generally including an UAV, a base power station, and, a tether for connecting the UAV to the base power station to provide electrical power to the UAV when airborne. The base power station may include a cable take-up assembly for releasing and taking up the tether. A plug or power module is provided at the free end of the tether configured to be detachably coupled with the UAV, to transmit electrical power to, and, possibly, data to and from, the UAV. With the plug or power module being detached, the UAV is free to fly unrestricted. This arrangement allows for the UAV to be airborne for prolonged periods to allow for monitoring a region and for release to allow the UAV to investigate anomalies in the monitored region.

Abstract: A control device for controlling a kite steering arrangement, including a base, a control bar support extending downward on the base, a control bar pivot point mounted displaceably about the control bar support, a pair of interconnecting members extending between opposing end regions of the control bar and the base upper the control bar support, a tensioning mechanism, a base pivot point, a base rotator for allowing rotation of the base about a vertical axis thereof, a manipulator that manipulates the base pivot point and base rotator, and a communicator, that communicates adjustment of the interconnecting members to the kite steering arrangement. The length aspect of the interconnecting members is adjusted by pivoting the control bar about the control bar pivot point and/or by displacement of the control bar pivot point relative the control bar support.
