Abstract:
The solution proposed refers to a flight control unit (6) for tied models (1) (copters; UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that provides for direct flight control using mechanical or electronic guiding link (2) between the guiding point (3) and the model (1). The mechanical execution of the guiding point (3) and the guiding link (2) can consist of a whipcord, wire, electrical cable etc.; the electronic type of guiding link (2) is then representing the line with an acoustic or electromagnetic signal, a light beam etc. The unit may be completed with data communication to specify the position coordinates of the guiding point (3) and the model (1) in more detail. The solution proposed provides for fully automated navigation of the model (1) to a required position in reference of the guiding point (3), without imposing higher level of skills on the pilot (4) or the necessity to know the movement path trajectory in advance as it is the case in wireless remote control of the model (1), or its flight programming.
