AIRBORNE POWER STATION Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64B1/00 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft engineering, namely, to flying vehicles easier than air that feature the opportunity to produce electric power. The airborne power station contains the flying vehicle with the aerostatic module, consisting of the top, bottom and central modules and is used integral with top wind-driven generator module with windwheels. The top module is furnished a trellised platform for in-flight reception of compact flying vehicles. The central aerostatic module has the top dome covered by panels convert sun power into electric current. The bottom service module includes storage batteries for smoothing peak loads and producing the maximum electric current, variable-length power bundles, service and premises intended for servicing the power station. The proposed airborne power station features an opportunity of reliable production of electric power and automatic positioning at heights of the maximum winds and solar radiation.

EFFECT: increased profitability.
