摘要
This paper is devoted to analytical modeling of apparent wind load effects on a tether constraining a power kite performing a fast crosswind motion. The refined crosswind motion law generalized for accounting the kite control is derived in the case of equilibrium motion of the kite. The paper also presents the study of the effect of tether sag based on the mathematical model of a gently sloping tether line. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
