Rigid Robotics UAV is a special breed of aircraft that enables extended surveillance operations through power delivery via a tether cable. Inclusion of the tether into the UAV concept while innovative adds several requirements to the UAV design and development system. One of which is the requirement for a thorough aerodynamic modeling, analysis and optimization to achieve the needed aerodynamic efficiency in terms of thrust/power ratio and other figures of merit. Rigid Robotics has engaged UVic's aerospace team in addressing such niche challenges.

刚性机器人无人机（Rigid Robotics UAV）是一种特殊类型的飞机，能够通过系绳电缆供电进行扩展监视操作。在创新的同时，将系绳纳入无人机概念增加了对无人机设计和开发系统的几个要求。其中之一是需要彻底的气动建模、分析和优化，以达到所需的气动效率，在推力/功率比和其他指标方面的优点。刚性机器人公司已经聘请维多利亚大学的航空航天团队来解决这些小众挑战。
