Abstract: A structure (3) for accommodating a pod (7) for a traction kite connected by a line (5) to a vessel, this accommodating structure having a frame (3a), at least one pulley (3b) for connecting the line, this pulley being mounted on a chassis (3d), and a follower arm (3c) and a pod support (4). This pod support includes at least two plates (4a, 4b) one above the other, at least one deformable elastic return device for securing the plates and a device for guiding and catching the line, the support being connected to the frame by at least one righting arm (6) that is movable between a stowed position for the pod, a take-off position for the pod (7), a cruise position at a distance from the line, a position for catching the line and a landing position for the pod.

Abstract: A tethered-wing traction system having: a traction wing (2); a trajectory control flying device (5); a base platform (8) on which a structure for deploying and folding the traction wing (2) is mounted; and a traction line. The traction system includes a stand (12) which includes a mounting base (13) on a traction support, this stand (12) further having an internal storage space (20) for the traction wing (2). The base platform (8) is rotatably mounted on the stand (12) via a pivot connection. The base platform (8) has a storage window opening into the internal storage space (20), this storage window being located at the foot of the deployment and folding structure.

Abstract: To prevent stress concentrations in the structure of an aircraft, an aircraft windshield assembly includes a peripheral frame, a windshield surrounded by the peripheral frame, the windshield comprising panes having respective lateral edges facing each other and respective other edges attached to the peripheral frame, and a pillar formed of at least one respective fishplate that covers the respective lateral edges facing each other and is bolted to the respective lateral edges facing each other, with no connection to the peripheral frame other than via the panes.
