发明名称 Flight path control system for aircraft
摘要 A method and apparatus for changing a flight path of an air platform. A change for the flight path of the air platform is identified. A weight system associated with the air platform is moved during flight of the air platform such that a center of mass of the air platform changes in a manner that causes the flight path of the air platform to change.

主权项 1. A method for changing a flight path of an air platform, the method comprising: supporting, a weight system in flight via connecting a first line and a second line to an airfoil and the weight system, such that the air platform comprises the weight system and the airfoil, the first line connecting to the airfoil at a first location and a second location, the first location being opposite and diagonal to the second location on the airfoil, and the second line connecting to the airfoil at a third location and a fourth location, the third location being opposite and diagonal to the fourth location on the airfoil; identifying a change for the flight path of the air platform; and moving the weight system associated with the air platform during flight of the air platform such that a center of mass of the air platform changes in a manner that causes the flight path of the air platform to change via moving the weight system via moving the line via a motor connected to the weight system, such that the motor avoids supporting a load of the weight system.
