CA 2376054

A method and an apparatus for capturing a flying object (5) are revealed. The apparatus includes a generally linear fixture (2), such as a length of rope; a means for suspending (1) the fixture (2) across the path of the flying object (5); and one or more hooks (19) on the flying object (5). The method involves suspending the fixture (2) such that its orientation includes a component normal to the flying object's line of approach; striking the fixture (2) with the flying object (5), which causes the flying object (5) to rotate and decelerate, while the fixture (2) slides along a surface of the flying object (5) into a hook (19); capturing the fixture (2) in the hook (19); and retrieving the flying object (5) from the fixure (2).

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour récupérer un objet volant. L'appareil comprend une structure généralement linéaire (5) telle que la longueur d'un câble; un système pour accrocher (1) la structure (2) en travers du trajet de l'objet volant (5); et un ou plusieurs crochets (19) sur l'objet volant (5). Le procédé consiste à suspendre la structure (2) l'orientant de manière à ce que l'un de ses composants soit normal par rapport à la ligne d'approche de l'objet volant; à percuter la structure (2) avec l'objet volant (5), ce qui à pour effet de faire tourner et de décélérer l'objet volant (5), la structure (2) glissant le long d'une surface de l'objet volant (5) puis sur un crochet (19); à capturer la structure (2) sur le crochet (19); et à récupérer l'objet volant (5) depuis la structure (2).
