    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for capturing and recovering unmanned aircraft and other flight devices or projectiles are described. In one embodiment, the aircraft can be captured by a recovery line in flight, a process that can be aided by a line capture device having a retainer with two portions spaced apart by a distance great enough to receive the recovery line, e.g., to capture the recovery line with increased security. The line capture device can be operatively mounted on a lifting surface of the aircraft.

    Abstract: The VTOL aircraft includes a free wing having wings on opposite sides of the fuselage connected to one another for joint free rotation and for differential pitch settings under pilot, computer or remote control. On vertical launch, pitch, yaw and roll control is effected by the elevators, rudder and the differential pitch settings of the wings, respectively. At launch, the elevator pitches the fuselage nose downwardly to alter the thrust vector and provide horizontal speed to the aircraft whereby the free wing freely rotates relative to the fuselage into a generally horizontal orientation to provide lift during horizontal flight. Transition from horizontal to vertical flight is achieved by the reverse process and tile aircraft may be gently recovered in or on a resilient surface such as a net.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform includes a stationary base constructed and arranged to reside over a fixed location on a surface (e.g., a ground location, a ship's deck, a trailer or other vehicle, etc.). The UAV platform further includes a set of UAV interfaces constructed and arranged to interface directly with a UAV (e.g., a launcher, a net apparatus, etc.). The UAV platform further includes a turntable assembly which couples to the stationary base. The turntable assembly is constructed and arranged to couple to each UAV interface and control angular direction of that UAV interface over the fixed location. A method of operating a UAV platform includes deploying the UAV platform over a fixed location, preparing a UAV interface on a turntable assembly of the UAV platform, and rotating the turntable to control angular direction of the UAV interface over the fixed location.

    Abstract: Methods are provided for operating an air vehicle having fixed wings. Such methods include the step of providing an operating map of angle of attack associated with the fixed wings with Reynolds number, including conditions of separated flow over the fixed wings and conditions of attached flow over the fixed wings. Such methods also include the step of using the operating map for guidance, causing the air vehicle to operate at least within a low Reynolds numbers range corresponding to the operating map, such as to avoid or minimize risk of causing the air vehicle to operate at conditions of separated flow over the fixed wings.
