Description
Summary:The development of a concept of an unmanned glider-tug and cargo unmanned aerial vehicle with electric drive Abstract: The article presents a few selected ideas for AUV usage which are being developed in Poland as well as the description of a project of an unmanned tug, a new technological solution which was submitted to the Patent Office in December 2017 and which has been being developed since then. The proposed towing system consists of a universal ground-based air traffic control station for unmanned flights, an AUV-tug and an additional control system placed on the towed object. The proposed solution aims at maintenance costs reduction and increase of performance of aircrafts with electric drive. Keywords: UAV; Tug; Global Positioning System (GPS); Galileo
