Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a method and a related system of flight termination for air vehicles. The method and the system of flight termination for air vehicles involve deploying a parachute for flight termination of an air vehicle. A flight termination system, which in turn comprises at least one microcontroller unit that is connected to at least one parachute deployment system for deploying an air vehicle's parachute when a major emergency is determined during an air vehicle's flight.

Abstract: A fuel cell stack for enhanced hybrid power systems, comprising first (2) and second (3) conductive end plates with contact terminals (4); a plurality of fuel cells (7) configured to be connected in series and stacked between the conductive end plates (2, 3); at least one conductive middle plate (6, 6?) with at least one contact terminal (11, 11?), each conductive middle plate (6, 6?) being configured to be stacked between adjacent fuel cells (7). The contact terminals (11, 11?) may comprise conductive tabs (11) protruding from the fuel cell stack (1). The invention also refers to a hybrid power system comprising a battery (50), a fuel cell stack (1) and a control unit (70) configured to select an operating voltage of the fuel cell stack (1) when the hybrid power system (90) is feeding a load (60).

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicles take-off system may include at least one winch, at least one towline, at least one dolly on which at least one aircraft is mounted, and at least one battery of the at least one winch. At least one micro-controller unit is connected to the at least one winch, wherein the at least one microcontroller unit is configured to control the activation/deactivation of the at least one winch. An unmanned aerial vehicle take-off method is also disclosed that includes operating the at least one winch by means of at least one microcontroller unit connected to said at least one winch.

Abstract: Power management method and system for an unmanned air vehicle, wherein the unmanned air vehicle comprises a plurality of power demanding subsystems and a plurality of power sources. The invention establishes mission oriented fixed parameters. A fuzzy logic power management unit, comprised in the system, automatically calculates and assigns priorities for delivering power to the subsystems. It also automatically calculates and assigns amounts of power delivered to each subsystem and automatically decides which of the power sources to deliver power to which subsystem. The fuzzy logic power management system calculates and assigns the priorities and loads in function of a plurality of internal variables, external variables and the mission oriented fixed parameters.
