Abstract: Disclosed is a configuration to control automatic return of an aerial vehicle. The configuration stores a return location in a storage device of the aerial vehicle. The return location may correspond to a location where the aerial vehicle is to return. One or more sensors of the aerial vehicle are monitored during flight for detection of a predefined condition. When a predetermined condition is met a return path program may be loaded for execution to provide a return flight path for the aerial vehicle to automatically navigate to the return location.

Abstract: Known towed bodies can be maneuvered in all three dimensions but, as pure airborne targets, do not have a large load capacity. The towed body (01) according to the invention is designed for bearing large loads and serves exclusively scientific and commercial measurement purposes. To achieve very good aerodynamic properties, the towed body has a fuselage (02) comprising a triangular transverse plane (15), wherein the upper face (18) is designed to be wide and the lower face (19) is designed to be narrow, and comprising a curvature (23) only on the upper face (18), whereas the lower face (19) runs straight. The wings (03) are bent and consist of two segments (07, 08). Small segments (07) are arranged at the bottom of the fuselage (02), which small segments point downwards and stabilise the towed body (01), large segments (08) are connected to the small segments (07), which large segments point upwards and generate lift. In the front and middle region of the fuselage (02) and in the small segments (07) there are load chambers (10, 11) which can have user-friendly segment chambers (22). The unit chamber (09) comprising various units (27), such as a position-stabilising gyroscope system, an anti collision module, accumulators, a generator and an emergency parachute system (25), is located in the rear region of the towed body (01).
