    摘要: An unmanned aerial system (UAS) may comprise an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a portable power source, and a tether connecting a UAV to a portable power source. The tether may transmit power from the portable power source to the UAV. The UAS may be controlled by a remote control, which may command the UAV to surveil a location and transmit images back to the controller. The UAV may further include one or more components attached to the UAV, such as a camera, surveillance equipment, a Taser®, a LED strobe light, laser, or a claw. A remote control may control the flight of the UAV as well as the functionality of the one or more components. The UAS may be configured to, for example, surveil a location, intercept an intruder, inspect a building, and/or perform crowd control.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided to control flow separation of an ambient flow along a surface and about a turret (12), such as by reducing flow separation aft of the turret. By reducing flow separation, the resulting turbulence may be similarly reduced such that the performance of a system, such as a laser system, housed by the turret may be improved. To reduce flow separation, a motive flow may be provided by ejector nozzles (32) that open through the surface and are positioned proximate to and aft of the turret relative to the ambient flow. The motive flow has a greater velocity than the ambient flow to thereby create a region aft of the turret of reduced pressure relative to an ambient pressure. Within this region of reduced pressure aft of the turret, a portion of the ambient flow mixes with the motive flow, thereby reducing or eliminating flow separation.

    摘要: With a view to optimizing the resources needed to continue the flight upon the loss of at least one main engine, the invention seeks to unburden the propulsion system that has remained operative of all or some of the non-propulsive energy tappings through a continuously-operating additional generation of non-propulsive power. More specifically the method involves, using the power production unit GPP, constantly in operation during flight and taking over some (PGA) of the nominal total non-propulsive power (PTA) of the aircraft, to supply, almost instantaneously, increased non-propulsive powers (PSU, PMU, PIU) according to at least three respective emergency settings (RS, RM, RI) upon said engine failure. The GPP control and monitoring function assesses the time elapsed for each emergency setting (RS, RM, RI), and informs the data processing unit of this time with an alarm being emitted if the operating times (Xmax, Ymax, Zmax) allocated to each emergency setting (RS, RM, RI) are exceeded, and the emergency function adjusts the aircraft's non-propulsive power tappings between the main engines and the unit GPP either automatically or on the orders of the pilot.
