ABSTRACT:
A remote-control maintains the angle-of-attack of a tethered aircraft in fluxuating wind velocity. The tether is attached to the towing-point that is on a motor-driven tether-transporter. The transporter is secured to the structure of the aircraft. The angle-of-attack is modulated when actuating signals from a remote station cause the motor to propel the transporter, which carries the towing-point, to or fro, across the windward face of the aircraft.
