FIELD: aviation.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aviation. The method for controlling the position of the free end (5) of the flexible connection (3) fixed on the aircraft (1) with an external target object (7) in the surrounding space, in particular on the Earth’s surface (8), is characterized by the fact that a flexible connection (3) fixed at one end is released from the main aircraft (1) by means of a winch (4) and, controlling, by means of a gravitational field and a set of technical means, including means of maneuvering the main aircraft (1), the position in space of the other, free end (5) of the flexible connection (3), it is combined with the object (7) of the relationship LA (1 and 2). Control of the position in space of the free end (5) of the flexible connection (3) is additionally carried out by means of controlled maneuvering of the auxiliary aircraft (2), having previously connected the latter (2) with the flexible connection (3) at its free end (5). By maneuvering the auxiliary aircraft (2), the free end (5) of the flexible connection (3) is, if necessary, deflected from the vertical position of the static equilibrium of the latter in the general case along three Cartesian coordinate axes.
EFFECT: expansion of the tactical and technical capabilities of technological operations and the technical means used in this process is achieved.
