The present disclosure is generally related to a system and method for a recharging station for an electric aircraft. The system may include a landing pad and a recharging component coupled to the landing pad. Further, the system may include a power delivery unit configured to deliver stored power from a power supply unit to the recharging component and wherein the floating platform is in direct contact with a body of water.

A butt joint octagonal frustum type floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) system, wherein a floating body is provided with an upper structural body in an octagonal frustum shape and a lower structural body in a regular octagonal frustum shape; in a combined state, a smaller bottom surface of the upper structural body is fixedly connected with a smaller bottom surface of the lower structural body, to form a junction surface; the axis of the upper structural body and the axis of the lower structural body are positioned on the same straight line; the larger bottom of the upper structural body acts as an upper deck of the floating structure and the larger bottom of the lower structural body acts as a lower plate underwater of the floating structure; the junction surface is a full-load waterplane of the floating structure.

The disclosed invention is a passive flow control device, mounted vertically forward of the helicopter launch and recovery area on a ship flight deck. The vertical flow control device reduces the airwake effect on the ship flight deck for safer operation of helicopters during launch and recovery missions from ships. The device is retractable to reduce the ships topside signature and increase the ship's military effectiveness. It can also be modified for maximum effectiveness based on a combination of the ship's topside features, the ship's operation speeds, helicopter operations, and environmental conditions.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system provides for UAV deployment and remote, unattended operation with reduced logistics requirements. The system includes a launcher that can include one or more containers, or hangars, configured to house vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAVs. The system can further include a VTOL UAV orientation and charging module configured to mechanically position a UAV within a container and facilitate electrical mating and charging of a battery in the UAV. These operations, and others, can be performed by remote command that can initiate a series of pre-programmed steps. The UAV system can further include a power generation and storage subsystem, a security subsystem, a command and control subsystem and a communications subsystem. Command, control and communications can be provided between a remote station and the UAV.

Equipment and methods that combine the use of wave powered vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones). A UAV can be launched from a wave-powered vehicle, observe another vessel, and report the results of its observation to the wave-powered vehicle, and the wave-powered vehicle can report the results of the observation to a remote location. The UAV can land on water and can then be recovered by the wave-powered vehicle.
