Feb. 21, 2021, VERY ROUGH
SCRATCH NOTES NEEDING POLISHING by JpF: Three-wing-two-media kite system: (exaample: Greenland flights south to north: Image support: 3WKS001 | 3WKS002 | Media: air, snow-ice. Wings: Aerial, Human-Ski, Sledge. Power aerial wing pulling skied human; then a line from the human to sledge that is kited using the air and ice as media. Could there be a sitting position of the human that might ease a long run in one position? Where should be the anchor point of the tether that pull the sledge? Could the anchor point of the sledge tether be lower to help bite the seat? On long one-direction run, it seems wrong to work the thighs and ankles. WA-----WHumanSki----WSledge The kiting of the WSledge ..... are their any unconsidered matters about this part of the system? Should the mass and form of the WSledge be integrated into the WumanSki point? Could the human be less worked if the mass of the sledge was formed into a different system that is just WAerial-------WHumanSledgeSki ???????? If the human is relieved of the thigh-ankle fatigue by joining the payloadsledge into a form that bites into the snow-ice? |
