"@Greg: do you think about kites that are attached to the ground via tether(s) or freely flying ones? In the former case, some airborne wind energy companies/groups were using them. They have much lower lift coefficients and are easier affected by UV…"
"@Andrew, thank you!
The paths are given as intersections of the sphere with radius=tether length and planes, i.e. the direction perpendicular to the plane and a distance from the origin=home position. The great and small circles are obtained form…"
"@Andrew: Thank you very much for your interest. I worked on the technical side of the project. We wanted to fly a fixed-wing aircraft on a tether of constant length in a figure-eight pattern that is inclined at a certain angle.For this, we mainly…"
