Abstract
An extensive trade-off identified a tethered flying duct to be the optimal concept for the required mission. Afterwards, the above-mentioned design methodology was applied while taking into account the sustainability guidelines, together with the specified user requirements. This led to the creation of The Chameleon, a name inspired by the hunting behaviour of a chameleon, which strikes insect prey with its tongue within a fraction of a second.
