METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TRANSITIONING AN AERIAL VEHICLE BETWEEN CROSSWIND FLIGHT AND HOVER FLIGHT
방법은 항공기를 측풍 비행 배향으로 배향되어 있으면서 테더 구면 상의 제1 닫힌 경로를 따라 진행하도록 조작하는 단계를 포함할 수 있다. 테더는 제1 단부에서 항공기에 연결될 수 있고 제2 단부에서 지상국에 연결될 수 있다. 게다가, 테더 구면은 테더의 길이에 대응하는 반경을 가질 수 있다. 본 방법은 항공기가 측풍 비행 배향으로 있는 동안, 항공기의 속력이 감소되도록, 항공기를 테더 구면 상의 제2 닫힌 경로를 따라 진행하도록 조작하는 단계를 추가로 포함할 수 있다. 그리고 본 방법은 항공기의 속력이 감소된 후에 또는 감소되는 동안에, 항공기를 측풍 비행 배향으로 있으면서 제2 닫힌 경로를 따라 진행하는 것으로부터 제자리 비행 배향으로 전환시키는 단계를 포함할 수 있다.
A method may involve operating an aerial vehicle (130) to travel along a first closed path (450A) while oriented in a crosswind-flight orientation. A tether (120) may be connected to the aerial vehicle (130) on a first end and may be connected to a ground station on a second end. The method may further involve while the aerial vehicle (130) is in the crosswind-flight orientation, operating the aerial vehicle (130) to travel along a second closed path (450B) , such that a speed of the aerial vehicle is reduced. And the method may involve after or while the speed of the aerial vehicle (130) is reduced, transitioning the aerial vehicle (130) from traveling along the second closed path (450B) while in the crosswind-flight orientation to a hover-flight orientation.
