A Small-Scale Prototype to Study the Takeoff of Tethered Rigid Aircrafts for Airborne Wind Energy

The design of a prototype to carry out takeoff and flight tests with tethered aircrafts is presented. The system features a ground station equipped with a winch and a linear motion system. The motion of these two components is regulated by an automatic control system, whose goal is to accelerate a t...
