    Abstract: In one example, a free-flying tethered airship system includes an upper airship adapted to tailor its lift and drag, a lower airship adapted to tailor its lift and drag, and a tether connecting the upper airship to the lower airship such that the upper airship is at least one kilometer above the lower airship. The upper airship is configured to be equiliberally buoyant, while carrying the tether, in a first altitude range. The lower airship is configured to be equiliberally buoyant in a second altitude range, the first altitude range being higher than the second altitude range. A method for stationkeeping of a free-flying tethered airship system is also provided.

    Abstract translation: 在一个例子中,一个自由飞行的系留式飞艇系统包括适合于调整其升降机的上部飞艇,适于调整其升降机的下部飞艇,以及将上部飞艇连接到下部飞艇的系绳,使得上部飞艇 距离下游飞艇至少一公里。 上部飞艇构造成在第一高度范围内平衡地浮起,同时携带系绳。 下部飞艇被配置为在第二高度范围内平衡地浮起,第一高度范围高于第二高度范围。 还提供了一种用于维持自由飞行的系留式飞艇系统的方法。
