Abstract

An Airborne Elevator Apparatus capable of deploying at the same time multiple service loads at different altitudes in the Earth's atmosphere by physically separating tether weight carrier function from the service load weight carrier function of a common aerostat. The tether weight carrier function is performed by at least one airborne canopy assembly (20) filled with lighter than air gas, which has enough lifting power to support its own weight and the weight of the attached airborne cables (30). The service load carrier function is performed by several airborne booster assemblies (51). Designed to glide on the apparatus's airborne cables (30), an airborne booster assembly (51) filled with lighter than air gas has enough lifting power to carry its own weight and the weight of a service load at altitudes below the uppermost canopy. For stability purposes, the apparatus is designed to rotate around its vertical axis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of hybrid moored aerostats, in particular to an aerial elevator. Background technique [0002] Modern interest in the use of tethered aerostats for carrying and performing various surveillance and communication tasks is growing. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters, these aerostats use helium or hydrogen to stay in the air. Tethered aerostats are unmanned, inexpensive, and secured to the ground by a tethering system that also provides power and communications. [0003] Webster's Dictionary defines the term "service load" as "the load that a structure is expected to support under normal use". [0004] The purpose of the tethered aerostat is to lift in the Earth's atmosphere and maintain the service load at a predetermined deployment altitude. Its lifting capacity should be sufficient to support its own weight, the weight of its tether, and the weight of the service load. Because the weight of...
