A Small-Scale Prototype to Study the Take-Off of Tethered Rigid Aircrafts for Airborne Wind Energy
Lorenzo Fagiano, Eric Nguyen-Van, Felix Rager +2
The design of a prototype to carry out take-off and flight tests with tethered aircrafts is presented. The system features a ground station equipped with a winch and a linear motio…
Autonomous Take-Off and Flight of a Tethered Aircraft for Airborne Wind Energy
Lorenzo Fagiano, Eric Nguyen-Van, Felix Rager +2
A control design approach to achieve fully autonomous take-off and flight maneuvers with a tethered aircraft is presented and demonstrated in real-world flight tests with a small-s…
Autonomous take-off and landing of a tethered aircraft: a simulation study
Eric Nguyen Van, Lorenzo Fagiano, Stephan Schnez
The problem of autonomous launch and landing of a tethered rigid aircraft for airborne wind energy generation is addressed. The system operates with ground-based power conversion a…
