MUMBAI, India, Sept. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641104343 A) filed by Yoganand D; and Vinoth Ramesh on August 31, 2026, for A Tethered Multi-Rotor Electric Air Vehicle.
Inventor includes Yoganand Dhanasekaran.
The application for the patent was published on September 04, 2026, under issue no. 36/2026.
Abstract: A tethered multi-rotor electric aircraft (100) comprising an electric tether cable (101), an energy storage system (102) having a plurality of energy storage units (103) electrically connected in series, a plurality of power management units (104), and a plurality of electric fans (106) configured to generate thrust. Each power management unit (104-1, 104-2, 104-3, ... 104-N) is operatively coupled to a corresponding energy storage unit (103-1, 103-2, 103-3, ... 103-N) and dynamically controls a rotational speed of a corresponding electric fan (106-1, 106-2, 106-3, ... 106-N) to regulate an amount of auxiliary electrical power supplied through the electric tether cable (101) and utilised by the corresponding energy storage unit for recharging secondary cells while the aircraft (100) is airborne. The electric tether cable (101) may comprise a first conductor (108a) and a second conductor (108b) electrically coupled across the series-connected energy storage system (102). In some embodiments, corresponding inverters (105-1, 105-2, 105-3, ... 105-N) are provided between the energy storage units and electric fans, and the power management units dynamically regulate fan speed based on one or more operating states of the corresponding energy storage units.
