Abstract: Aparato para capturar, y aparato comprendiendo un objeto volante provisto de una superficie de elevación en el sentido de la longitud del ala (16)(16) con un dispositivo de captura (19) y que vuela a lo largo de una trayectoria de vuelo (5, 14, 25), el aparato adicionalmente comprendiendo: una fijación globalmente lineal, curvilínea, o lineal y curvilínea (2, 10, 17) que se puede colocar en la trayectoria de vuelo del objeto volante, por lo menos una parte de la fijación estando inclinada en un ángulo con relación a la superficie de elevación en el sentido de la longitud del ala para formar intersección con la superficie de elevación en el sentido de la longitud del ala, la fijación estando provista de una superficie de acoplamiento colocada para acoplar el dispositivo de captura del objeto volante para fijar de forma que se pueda soltar el objeto volante a la fijación; y una estructura de soporte (1, 9) acoplada a la fijación y colocada para sostener la fijación en la trayectoria de vuelo.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for retrieving an aircraft in a confined space involves hanging a cable, for example from a kite or mast, across the aircraft's flight path. The aircraft approaches the cable in steady forward flight, and may strike the cable at any point on the wing, fuselage, or other leading surface. The cable then slides along the airframe as the aircraft moves forward, until it is intercepted by a hook attached to the wing tip or other convenient location. The hook captures the cable, and prevents further sliding; the cable then pulls the aircraft to a stop. Compliance of the cable, optionally combined with compliance of the cable suspension, provides acceptably gradual deceleration. The aircraft is left suspended in mid-air, and is then winched or slid to the base of the cable or other convenient retrieval point. The cable suspension and other fixed objects can be kept well clear of the flight path, so that the aircraft can continue safely in the event that it misses the cable, and make another approach.
