Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A motor pylon system adapted for use with an airborne power generations system is disclosed. The pylons may support turbine driven generators for wind based electrical power generation which also function as electric motors in some aspects. The pylons may be designed to provide side force useful for turning a tethered flying wing flying in a circular cross wind flight path. The pylons may be designed to minimize air flow disruptions over the main wing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A motor pylon system for use on a high lift rigid flying device, said motor pylon system comprising: a main wing, wherein said main wing includes a leading edge and a trailing edge; and one or more motor pylons, said motor pylons comprising: a lower pylon; and an upper pylon, wherein said lower pylon is attached to a lower surface of said main wing and a trailing edge of said lower pylon extends beyond said leading edge of said main wing, and wherein sa…
