Abstract
A ground-connected power system for an aerial vehicle, wherein the ground-connected power system provides a conductor wire carried above-ground by supports fixed to the ground. The system further provides a current collector extending between an aerial end and a contact end, wherein the aerial end detachably connects to an underside of the aerial vehicle at an elevation above the conductor wire, and wherein the contact end electrically couples with the conductor wire so that a power component physically connected to the aerial vehicle is electrically powered by the conductor wire.

A ground-connected power system for an aerial vehicle, the system comprising:
- a conductor wire carried above-ground by supports fixed to the ground;
- and
- a current collector extending between an aerial end and a contact end, wherein the aerial end detachably connects to an underside of the aerial vehicle at an elevation above the conductor wire, and wherein the contact end electrically couples with the conductor wire so that a power component physically connected to the aerial vehicle is electrically powered by the conductor wire, wherein the contact end is urged upward against an underside of the conductor wire.
