Patent

CA 2384557

An improved method of launching and retrieving a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) (10) is disclosed. The preferred method of launch involves carrying the UAV (10) up to altitude using a parasail (8) similar to that used to carry tourists aloft. The UAV is dropped and picks up enough airspeed in the dive to perform a pull-up into level controlled flight. The preferred method of recovery is for the UAV to fly into and latch onto the parasail tow line (4) or cables hanging off the tow line and then be winched back down to the boat (2).

L'invention concerne un procédé de lancement et de récupération d'un véhicule aérien télépiloté VAT (10). Le procédé préféré consiste à amener le VAT (10) à une certaine altitude au moyen d'un parachute ascensionnel (8) similaire à ceux utilisés pour les touristes. Le VAT est lâché et prend suffisamment de vitesse dynamique dans sa chute pour remonter, de manière qu'un vol de niveau régulé soit obtenu. Le procédé de récupération préféré permet au VAT de voler et de s'amarrer à la ligne de traction (4) du parachute ascensionnel ou des câbles pendants de ladite ligne et d'être ensuite descendu par treuillage dans le bateau (2).
