Technology for securing an aircraft to the ground.

Note: A "captive balloon" is "a balloon restrained from free flight by means of a cable attaching it to the earth." A "kite balloon" is "an elongated form of captive balloon, fitted with lobes to keep it headed into the wind; it usually derives increased lift from the inclinations of its axis to the wind."[1]
