Wilson, Jr. of Lockheed-Georgia and A. George Bennett of the Mississippi State University\u2019s Aerospace Engineering Department. \u00a0Despite a caveat that Nate Saint\u2019s payloads were small, limited by the size and power of the PA-14 he flew, the paper explains how Mississippi State investigators used a Cessna Agwagon and Stearman biplane to test enhancements to the system.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple aircraft would start by flying initially in the same direction, then start turning around one another to provide a focus for the lines going to the payload.\u00a0 This \u201corbit\u201d procedure would allow pickup and lifting of the payload to a safe altitude, at which point the airplanes would &#8220;de-orbit&#8221; and\u00a0gradually assume the same path to the drop-off point.\u00a0 A\u00a0 \u201cre-orbit\u201d maneuver would allow delivery and placement of the payload at a precise location.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wilson and Bennett seemingly had no limits to their idea, positing the idea of applying such lifts to a Lockheed C-130.\u00a0 Imagine multiple Hercules living up to their name in the heavy-lift category.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pdf.aiaa.org\/jaPreview\/JGCD\/2009\/PVJA44371.pdf\">Paul Williams and Wubbo Ockels <\/a>of the Delft University of Technology, who credit Saint with demonstrating the technique, caution that such maneuvers put the aircraft at an extreme for stall speed and high bank angles, requiring great care in piloting.\u00a0 They also suggest a dual cable arrangement to the payload to ensure the load will be placed within the center of gravity of the lifting aircraft and to damp oscillations that might cause any imbalance.<\/p>\n<p>Olson notes that\u00a0even Williams and Ockels show that\u00a0the use\u00a0of long lines would reduce the angle of bank for each aircraft circling the payload, and not lead to the stall\/bank angle problem noted\u00a0earlier in their own paper.\u00a0\u00a0 Shallow bank angles could be maintained by the lifting aircraft if the\u00a0lines\u00a0were over 1,500 meters long &#8211; depending on the mass of the payload, and would also allow the aircraft to remain at coefficients of lift far removed from the stall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Williams and Ockels further list Francois Alabrune\u2019s patent, labeled as\u00a0&#8220;The Art of Aerial Transportation\u00a0(United States Patent 2,298,912) as the source of using more than one aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, this is not a simple task, even for one airplane.\u00a0\u00a0Alabrune&#8217;s diagrams of the orbit and re-orbit processes show the challenges involved.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2935\" style=\"width: 538px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2935\" href=\"http:\/\/cafe.foundation\/blog\/?attachment_id=2935\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2935\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2935\" title=\"alabrune 1942\" src=\"http:\/\/cafe.foundation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/alabrune-1942-528x615.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"615\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cafe.foundation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/alabrune-1942-528x615.jpg 528w, http:\/\/cafe.foundation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/alabrune-1942-257x300.jpg 257w, http:\/\/cafe.foundation\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/alabrune-1942.jpg 983w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2935\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alabrune&#39;s 1940 patent drawing showing orbit, de-orbit and re-orbit <\/p><\/div>\n<p>Gaylord suggests that using electrically-powered craft with precision GPS systems could allow a two, or even three-aircraft flight, with the ganged aircraft able to lift two or three times the amount for a single airplane.\u00a0 He notes that two lines would allow the load to be moved sideways by winds, while a third line would maintain tension regardless of wind direction, and thus allow the formation to hold the load in a tightly-controlled location.\u00a0 Unmanned electric aircraft would also have the possibility of highly precise throttle control, which coupled with GPS guidance and similarly precise control inputs though fuzzy logic programming\u00a0would permit pin-point delivery or pick-up of payloads.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the scenes of helicopters forced to dump water from high altitudes above the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant, more precise delivery might make the difference between successful cooling of the radioactive waste and catastrophic meltdown.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Two CH 47 helicopters drop water on Reactor 3 and Reactor 4 of Fukushima nuclear plant\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d3Jj001Ji78?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
