Abstract: A deployable airborne surveillance kite for flying in a wind over a surface includes a wing, a tail, and a spar coupling the wing to the tail. The kite further includes a thrust rotor mounted to the kite in a vertical orientation for providing vertical lift to the kite. A tether assembly extends from the kite to the surface and couples the kite to the surface providing downward resistance in opposition to the vertical lift provided by the thrust rotor.

Abstract: A method involves operating an aerial vehicle to travel along a first closed path on a tether sphere while oriented in a crosswind-flight orientation. A tether is connected to the aerial vehicle on a first end and is connected to a ground station on a second end. Further, the tether sphere has a radius corresponding to a length of the tether. The method further involves while the aerial vehicle is in the crosswind-flight orientation, operating the aerial vehicle to travel along a second closed path on the tether sphere, such that a speed of the aerial vehicle is reduced. And the method involves after or while the speed of the aerial vehicle is reduced, transitioning the aerial vehicle from traveling along the second closed path while in the crosswind-flight orientation to a hover-flight orientation.

Abstract: A system may include a tether connected to a ground station. The tether may include at least two bridle segments. The system may further include an aerial vehicle connected to the at least two bridle segments. The system may also include at least one sensor and a control system. The control system may be configured to: a) receive sensor data from the at least one sensor; and b) determine a tether roll angle based on the sensor data. The tether roll angle may represent an angle between the tether and an axis of the aerial vehicle. Optionally, the control system may also be configured to determine a curvature of a path of the aerial vehicle based on the tether roll angle. The control system may additionally be configured to control at least one control surface of the aerial vehicle based on the curvature of the path.

Abstract: A launch and recovery system for a tethered airborne element is provided that launches and retrieves the tethered airborne element in a completely unattended manner. The system is comprised of a protective shroud for storing a tethered airborne element, a winch module for releasing the airborne element to fly into the air or retrieving the element from the air, and a bearing for enabling the control of launch and recovery. Optionally, the system is also comprised of a slip ring assembly for providing external power and/or control signals to the winch module. The system can also be equipped with instrumentation modules on the tether line to provide a radio link and high altitude weather information. These modules may also contain other sensors and actuators which will help stabilize the airborne element.
