PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To optimize an aerial vehicle for a power generation flight.SOLUTION: An aerial vehicle 130 can move from a tether sphere 304 to a location toward a ground station 110 (which may be referred to as being inside the tether sphere 304). When the aerial vehicle 130 is in a forward-flight orientation, the aerial vehicle 130 may engage in forward flight (which may be referred to as airplane-like flight). For instance, when the aerial vehicle 130 engages in the forward flight, the aerial vehicle 130 may ascend. The forward-flight orientation of the aerial vehicle 130 can take a form of an orientation of a fixed-wing aircraft (e.g., an airplane) in horizontal flight. In some examples, transitioning the aerial vehicle 130 from a hover-flight orientation to the forward-flight orientation may involve a flight maneuver, such as pitching forward.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3b
【課題】航空車両を発電飛行のために最適化する。【解決手段】航空車両130は、テザー球304から、地上局110寄りの位置(テザー球304の内部と呼ぶこともある)に移動することができる。航空車両130が前進飛行配向にあるときには、航空車両130は、前進飛行(飛行機のような飛行と呼ぶこともある)を行うことができる。例えば、航空車両130が前進飛行を行っているときに、航空車両130は、上昇することができる。航空車両130の前進飛行配向は、水平飛行している固定翼航空機(例えば飛行機)の配向の形態をとることができる。いくつかの例では、ホバー飛行配向から前進飛行配向に航空車両130を移行させることが、前方へのピッチングなどの飛行操作を含むことがある。【選択図】図3b
