FIELD: aviation.
SUBSTANCE: tethered aircraft with all-weather integrated wind and solar power plant is configured with ability to use hot steam to create the lifting force and to generate the power. It consists of a wind part, which is located in the through-wind channel within the housing, containing: the inlet and outlet nozzles, connecting sleeves and sections consisting of power plants, each of which includes a wind wheel, pulleys with axes, connected by flexible links, which transmits the rotational movement from the wind wheel to the electric current generators; and sunny part, flexible solar cells of which are located on the outside protective cover of the soft body. The housing is made up of the segments with outer side heat insulation. The wind wheel is arranged with ability to actuate into rotation by the wind flow, that occurs when it passes through the housing, which is made as a cylinder, vertically fixed to the ground by means of the electric winches. The housing segments are heat insulated from the atmospheric side and provide the air heat therein, and the creation of wind flow, the speed of which is controlled by selecting the input nozzle section area and the cross section area of the connecting sleeve.
EFFECT: environmental improvement.
