Problems solved by technology

A common problem with wing elements of such large size is that the control of their flight
Also, since the wing elements are expected to fly at higher altitudes in order to take advantage of the increased wind speeds that exist at higher altitudes, it is not efficient to connect the wing elements to the ground connection point by more than one tug rope because more than one tug The rope will add weight to the connection

Embodiment Construction

[0054] see figure 1 and figure 2 , the aerodynamic wing element of the present invention may be shaped like a kite 10 comprising an upper layer 11 and a lower layer 12 . exist figure 1 In the front view of , four openings 20a-d can be seen in the leading edges 11a, 12a. These openings ventilate the interior space between the upper and lower floors 11 , 12 . These openings are located adjacent to the horizontal longitudinal axis of the kite. There are no openings in the side area between the front edges 11a, 12a.

[0055] upper and lower through figure 1 A plurality of ribs 21 shown in dashed lines are connected. The assembly of the upper layer, the lower layer and the plurality of ribs provides a flexible wing element. The wing elements are connected to the steering unit 30 by a plurality of traction ropes. Basically, starting from a plurality of ropes connected to wing elements, these ropes are merged into a reduced number of ropes through a number of combining steps...

Abstract

The invention relates to a steering unit for a wind propulsion system, the steering unit comprises a first fixed attachment means for securing a first end of a tractive cable the second end of which is secured to a device or a vehicle to which a tractive force shall be transferred, a second attachment means for attaching a number of tractive lines, the second end of which being secured to an aerodynamic wing element, a mechanical support frame connecting the first attachment means to the second attachment means for transferring a tractive force. The invention aims at providing such a steeringunit with improved design for better maneuverability and stability.; According to the invention the second attachment means of the improved steering unit comprise at least one upper fixed attachment point, a left moveable attachment point, a right moveable attachment point, and steering actuator means for varying the distance between the upper fixed attachment point and the left moveable attachment point and for varying the distance between the upper fixed attachment point and the right moveable attachment point.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a handling unit for a wind propulsion system, the handling unit comprising a first fixed connection device for fixing a first end of a traction cable and a second connection device, the first fixed connection device being used to fix a first end of a traction cable, a second end of the traction cable Fixed to a piece of equipment or a vehicle on which traction is to be transmitted, the second connection means is for connecting the first ends of a plurality of traction ropes, the second ends of which are secured to the aerodynamic wing element. A mechanical support frame connects the first linkage to the second linkage to transmit traction. Another aspect of the invention is an aerodynamic wind propulsion system comprising such a maneuvering unit. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of controlling such an aerodynamic wind propulsion system. Background technique [0002] The wind propulsion system of the invention ba...
