Electrical Launch Catapult and Landing Decelerator for Fixed-Wing Airborne Wind Energy Systems

Electrical Launch Catapult and Landing Decelerator for Fixed-Wing Airborne Wind Energy Systems

Show other versions (1)

This paper presents a (pre)feasibility study of the rail-based ultra-short launch and landing system ElektRail for fixed-wing airborne wind energy systems, such as Ampyx Power. The ElektRail concept promises airborne mass reductions through the elimination of landing gear as well as decreased landin...
