Modeling of a Tethered Testbed for a VTVL Vehicle

This paper proposes an algorithm for modeling a three-dimensional tethered environment for testing vertical-take off, vertical landing vehicles. The method is able to take several geometrical configurations into account and combines the classical catenary model with the elasticity theory to predict...
