METHOD FOR AIMED DROPPING OF LOAD FROM MOTHER FLIGHT VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: aviation. SUBSTANCE: the method consists in the fact that the coordinates of the point of load dropping in the calm-wind conditions at standard parameters of the atmosphere are preliminarily determined. Then the mother flight vehicle provided with an on-board computer and on-board equipment of satellite navigation is injected to the computed point of load dropping in the calm-wind conditions. Then the load analogue provided with the equipment of satellite navigation and a transceiver broadcasting the signals to the board of the mother flight vehicle is dropped. Further the coordinates of the touch-down point of the load analogue are determined in response to the signals of the equipment of satellite navigation of the load analogue. Further the coordinates of the point of load dropping are ascertained, and the load is dropped in the point with the ascertained coordinates. EFFECT: enhanced accuracy of touchdown of load in any weather conditions and automated determination of the coordinates of the point of load dropping. 3 dwg
