Tethered Aircraft TRIZ Cases
- Drone Power Docking for UAM Takeoff and Landing Range
A hub-deployed drone docks with UAM aircraft during takeoff and landing to add power, extend range, stabilize supply, and protect battery health.
- Tethered UAV Power Circuit for Stable High-Power LED Lighting
A buck converter and current regulation over a two-conductor tether stabilize high-power UAV lighting while avoiding heavier onboard hardware.
- UAM Power Cable Supply Architecture for Lighter Takeoff Batteries
Ground power, a flying supply unit, and cable-path control cut onboard battery weight while supporting UAM takeoff and longer range.
- Tethered Aerial Power Circuit With Buck-Boost LED Regulation
A buck converter in series with LEDs and a parallel boost regulator stabilize tethered drone power while reducing onboard converter weight.
- Tether Spool Tension Control With Spring-Biased Pulley
A spring-biased movable pulley and feedback-controlled spool keep UAV tether tension steady in a compact layout, reducing jerky motion.
- Tethered Aerial Vehicle Power Circuit for Stable LED Lighting
A two-conductor tether with buck conversion and amperage regulation stabilizes drone and LED power while cutting onboard weight and flicker.
- Coaxial Tether Antenna for Stable VTOL VLF Transmission
A VTOL UAS uses a coaxial tether as both antenna and power line, improving VLF transmission stability without heavy ground structures or winches.
- Aerial Vehicle Recharging Boom and Basket for Autonomous Docking
Automatic boom-to-basket docking centers, locks, and recharges autonomous aerial vehicles while supporting tethered flight without manual intervention.
- Tethered Drone Cell Site for Portable Long-Endurance Coverage
A modular tethered drone lifts telecom equipment with forced-air cooling to deliver portable cellular coverage for weeks in remote or disaster-hit areas.
- Tethered UAS Power Circuit for Stable LED Lighting
A buck converter and parallel amperage regulator stabilize tether power for brighter UAS LEDs without heavier onboard converters.
