Patent abstract
A hybrid cable configured to tether a drone or other aerial device to a base station may include at least one conductor configured to carry a power signal and at least one optical fiber component. A jacket may be formed around the at least one conductor and the at least one optical fiber component. The jacket may have an airfoil cross-sectional shape that is symmetrical about a center line extending from a first rounded edge to a second trailing edge. As a result, the cable may orient itself towards the wind and a lift force exerted on the cable may be approximately equal along opposite lateral sides of the cable.
