Low-Latency Quasi-Static Modeling of UAV Tether Aerodynamics
Max Beffert, Andreas Zell
One of the main limitations of multirotor UAVs is their short flight time due to battery constraints. A practical solution for continuous operation is to power the drone from the g…

Cable Optimization and Drag Estimation for Tether-Powered Multirotor UAVs
Max Beffert, Andreas Zell
The flight time of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is typically constrained by their high power consumption. Tethered power systems present a viable solution to extend f…
