Embodiment Construction

[0038] The invention proposes a system for recharging an on-board battery 6 in an electrically propelled aircraft 10 that can be recharged in flight.

[0039] figure 1 The system, schematically depicted in , comprises a charging aircraft 1, means 2, 3a, 3b, 4 for temporarily electrically connecting the charging aircraft to an electrically propelled aircraft that can be recharged in flight, and in the electrically propelled aircraft The charge adjustment device 5.

[0040] The temporary electrical connection means comprises according to an example a flexible electrical cable cable 2 towed by the charging aircraft, here a thrust reverser aircraft, a first connector element 3a at the end of this cable, a location where the battery is to be regenerated. The second connector element 3 b at the end of the bushing 4 of the charged aircraft 10 .

[0041] The cable may be a flexible cable placed upwind of the charging aircraft, and the cable may include, as in the prior art for refue...

Abstract

The subject of the invention is a system for recharging the batteries (6) carried on board an electrically powered aircraft (10), characterized in that it comprises a charging aircraft (1), means (2, 3a, 3b, 4) of temporarily electrically connecting the charging aircraft to the electrically powered aircraft and a charge-regulating device (5) in the electrically powered aircraft.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an in-flight refueling device for an electrically propelled aircraft comprising an on-board electrical storage system, an aircraft equipped with such a device, and a method for recharging a battery of an electrically propelled aircraft. The device provides for charging the aircraft, the aircraft that may be recharged, and the appropriate connection means. Background technique [0002] Since the introduction of lithium-based batteries on the market, there have been more and more demonstrations of aircraft or helicopters operating using the electrical energy stored electrochemically in the batteries. [0003] Obviously, the electric motors involved are very powerful and therefore require a very large input of on-board electrical energy. [0004] The problem is that, in the short or even medium term, battery technology does not allow electric aircraft to achieve similar levels of durability as their natural gas or kerosene-based ...
