Abstract
Restores tether tension while suppressing tether winding. A method of controlling the tension of a tether of a flying body moored to a vessel by a tether, wherein the vessel is moved in a direction in which the tether tension recovers when the tether tension detected by a sensor that detects the tension of the tether is less than a threshold value.
Claims4
A method of controlling tension of a tether, a flying object being moored using the tether to a vessel, the method comprising:
- moving the vessel in such a direction that the tension recovers when the tension that is detected by a sensor detecting the tension is less than a threshold value.
A method of controlling tension of a tether, a flying object being moored using the tether to a vessel, the method comprising:
- moving the vessel in such a direction that the tension recovers when difference obtained by subtracting a distance between the vessel and the flying object from a drawing length of the tether that is detected using a sensor detecting the drawing length exceeds a threshold value.
