    Abstract: An aircraft, particularly a solar powered, high altitude, long endurance, unmanned aerial vehicle, is equipped with a combination of canted down, raked back wing tips and trailing “tip tails” carried on booms from the tip regions of the mainplane. Each tip tail is positioned to be subject to the upwash field of the respective wing tip vortex, at least in the cruise condition of the aircraft. The wing tip form can achieve a reduction in induced drag and help to relieve wing root bending moment while the tip tails can act through their connections to the mainplane to provide torsional relief to the latter, particularly under lower incidence/higher speed conditions. In the higher incidence/lower speed cruise condition, however, the presence of the tip tails in the upwash fields of the wing tip vortices means that they can generate lift with a component in the forward direction of flight and hence contribute to the thrust requirements of the aircraft.

    Abstract: A layered architecture for customer payload systems is disclosed to provide a scalable, reconfigurable integration platform targeted at multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and remove both UAV specific and payload equipment specific characteristics that increase complexity during integration. The layered architecture is a modular design architecture that is split by function. Standard interfaces are implemented between functional layers to increase reconfiguration possibilities and to allow reuse of existing components and layers without modification to the payload or UAV. The standard interfaces also promote easy connection and disconnection from other layer components. Additionally, once the layered architecture is implemented, technological or functional requirements changes can be isolated to one specific component layer, not the entire payload stack. As a result, payload designs based on the layered architecture reduces design time and cost, and allows for easier integration, operation, upgrades, maintenance, and repair.

    Abstract translation: 公开了用于客户有效载荷系统的分层架构，以提供针对多个无人机（UAV）的可扩展的可重构集成平台，并且在集成期间移除提高复杂性的UAV特定和有效载荷设备特定特性。 分层架构是一种按功能划分的模块化设计架构。 标准接口在功能层之间实现，以增加重新配置的可能性，并允许现有组件和层的重用，而无需修改有效载荷或UAV。 标准接口还可以方便地连接和断开与其他层组件的连接。 另外，一旦分层架构被实现，技术或功能需求的改变可以被隔离到一个特定的组件层而不是整个有效载荷堆栈。 因此，基于分层架构的有效负载设计减少了设计时间和成本，并且允许更容易的集成，操作，升级，维护和修复。

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) system and a small unmanned air vehicle (SUAV) system for deploying and towing a sensor in a tow medium, and to methods related thereto. A UAV-sensor towing package comprises a fixed-wing UAV including a control and signal processing platform, a long range data RF link operably connected to the control and signal processing platform, a UAV wireless data link operably connected to the control and signal processing platform, and a tow body deployment system operably connected to the control and signal processing platform; a tow line attached at an end thereof to the UAV; a tow body attached to another end of the tow line; and a communications link including a transmitter/receiver component coupled to the tow line, and a T/R wireless data transmission link (194) operably connected with the transmitter/receiver component and the UAV wireless data link. A method for towing a tethered tow body through a tow medium along a tow track with a fixed-wing UAV at a tow body velocity that is less than a stall speed of the UAV along a forward UAV tow path comprises providing a UAV, a tow line attached at an end thereof to the UAV, and a tow body attached to another end of the tow line; flying the UAV to locate the tow body in a selected location of a tow medium; maneuvering the UAV along a non-horizontally-oriented, generally circular flight path (altitude tilted orbit) with a forward (surface) velocity along the forward UAV tow path corresponding to the tow track, wherein the tow body velocity in the tow medium is less than a stall speed of the UAV along the forward UAV tow path.

    Abstract: An aerial robot is disclosed. The aerial robot may include at least one pair of counter-rotating blades or propellers, which may be contained within a circumferential shroud or a duct. In one embodiment, the aerial robot may have the ability to hover and move indefinitely. Electric power to the robot may be provided by a tether or an on-board power supply. In tethered embodiments, a solid-state, electronic voltage transformer may be used to reduce a high voltage, low current source to lower voltage, higher current source. In one embodiment, secure data communication between a ground unit and the aerial robot is facilitated by impressing high bandwidth serial data onto the high voltage tether wires or a thin optical fiber which is co-aligned with the tether wires. In one embodiment, precise navigational and position controls, even under extreme wind loads, are facilitated by an on-board GPS unit and optical digital signal processors. In one embodiment, if the tether detaches, precision free-flight is possible with on-board batteries.

    Abstract: A solar rechargeable, long-duration, span-loaded flying wing, having no fuselage or rudder. Having a two-hundred foot wingspan that mounts photovoltaic cells on most all of the wing's top surface, the aircraft uses only differential thrust of its eight propellers to turn, pitch and yaw. The wing is configured to deform under flight loads to position the propellers such that the control can be achieved. Each of five segments of the wing has one or more motors and photovoltaic arrays, and produces its own lift independent of the other segments, to avoid loading them. Five two-sided photovoltaic arrays, in all, are mounted on the wing, and receive photovoltaic energy both incident on top of the wing, and which is incident also from below, through a bottom, transparent surface.
