Abrégé

An unmanned aerial vehicle system includes a ground station including a case, a power supply housed in the case, and a tether having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The first end of the tether is coupled to the case. The unmanned aerial vehicle system also includes a module including smart battery authentication circuitry configured to be coupled to the second end of the tether. The module is configured to be connected to an unmanned aerial vehicle. The smart battery authentication circuitry enables the unmanned aerial vehicle to receive power from the power supply housed in the case when the module is connected to the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Classes IPC  ?

• B64F 3/02 - Installations au sol spécialement adaptées aux aéronefs captifs avec dispositifs permettant de fournir à l'aéronef une alimentation électrique pendant le vol
• B60L 9/00 - Propulsion électrique par source d'énergie extérieure au véhicule
• B64C 39/02 - Aéronefs non prévus ailleurs caractérisés par un emploi spécial

Abrégé

A dynamically controllable force-generating device configured to be incorporated into a vehicle, such as an aircraft or a ship, or an energy-harvesting device, such as a wind turbine, is disclosed. The dynamically controllable force- generating device includes a force-generating motive surface, a motor operatively coupled to the force-generating motive surface to move at least a portion of the force-generating motive surface to generate a force, at least one controlling motive surface spaced apart from the force-generating motive surface, and a motor operatively coupled to the at least one controlling motive surface to move at least a portion of the controlling motive surface to change at least one of a direction and a magnitude of the force generated by the force-generating motive surface.
