Abstract
An anchoring vehicle for anchoring an airship at the tail whilst coupled to a mooring mast at the bow. Airships are generally coupled at the bow to a mooring-mast after landing on the ground. However, vertical gusts can result to a considerable amount of damage to the airship with this mechanism. To avoid such damage, the proposed anchoring mechanism designed as an anchoring vehicle, is coupled via an anchor-mast to the tail of the airship near the height of its middle axis. Thus, the vehicle stabilizes the airship vertically and can independently maneuver horizontally without considerable rolling resistance to a predefined airship position, thus preventing a tilting moment. The all-terrain, autonomous anchoring vehicle captures direction and strength data of horizontal deflection caused by wind power via sensors on the anchoring-mast. A control unit regulates the drive systems for navigation and wheel drive.
