Aerial robotic systems replace manual tower climbs to eliminate fall hazards while maintaining precise measurement accuracy.
Flexible membrane wing system transfers aerodynamic loads via central bridle line, resolving weight-to-strength trade-offs in airborne wind turbines.
A detachable power tether transmits surface energy to an aircraft during takeoff, reducing onboard battery weight and extending flight range.
Flexible windbags and waterbags amplify kinetic energy to overcome limited surface area capture in high altitude wind systems.
Flexible cable suspended from balloon lifts observation equipment to 30 meters, eliminating heavy vehicle support and reducing deployment time.
Weighted members direct tether cables away from drone propellers to prevent mechanical interference during flight.
