Abstract:
A system for handling an aircraft on a nautical vessel includes a plurality of winches each associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of electromotors and a plurality of cables associated with the plurality of winches. Each of the plurality of cables is configured to attach to an aircraft positioned on a deck of the nautical vessel. A control system is configured to receive a target aircraft hauling speed and direction and operate the winches to achieve the target speed in the selected direction while maintaining load on the aircraft to below a maximum limit and also maintaining the cables in tension.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for handling an aircraft on a nautical vessel, comprising:\n providing a plurality of winches each associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of electromotors; providing a plurality of cables associated with the plurality of winches, each of the plurality of cables configured to attach to an aircraft positioned on a deck of the nautical vessel; receiving, at a control system operatively connected to the plurality of electromotors, a target aircraft hauling speed; varying, by the plurality of electromotors, torque applied to one or more hauling winches among the plurality of winches in accordance with the control system to achieve a target aircraft hauling speed; determining, by the control system, load on the aircraft based on the torque applied to the one or more hauling winches and torque applied to one or more rendering winches among the plurality of winches; determining, by the control system, based on the detected load, target rendering torques for each of the one or more rendering winches that maintain the detected load below an aircraft maximum load limit and that maintain a predetermined tension in the cables corresponding to the one or more rendering winches; varying, by the plurality of electromotors, speed of the rendering winches in accordance with the control system to achieve the target rendering torques for each of the rendering winches; and varying, by the plurality of electromotors, torque of the rendering winches in accordance with the control system to maintain the predetermined tension.
