Abstract[English]
Aspects of the present invention relate to a wind turbine system comprising a tower and a nacelle mounted to the tower, and an unmanned air vehicle system adapted for inspection activities within the wind turbine, wherein the unmanned air vehicle system includes a navigation system configured to be operable in a first navigation mode and a second navigation mode. In the second navigation mode, the unmanned air vehicle system is configured to navigate through an internal space of the wind turbine with greater accuracy compared to when the navigation system is operable in the first navigation mode.[French]
Des aspects de la présente invention concernent un système d'éolienne comprenant une tour et une nacelle montée sur la tour, et un système de véhicule aérien sans pilote conçu pour des activités d'inspection à l'intérieur de l'éolienne. Ledit système de véhicule aérien sans pilote comprend un système de navigation configuré pour être utilisable dans un premier mode de navigation et dans un second mode de navigation. Dans le second mode de navigation, le système de véhicule aérien sans pilote est configuré pour naviguer à travers un espace interne de l'éolienne avec une plus grande précision par rapport au moment où le système de navigation est utilisable dans le premier mode de navigation.
