Solar-Powered Aircraft: Energy-Optimal Path Planning and Perpetual Endurance
This paper considers energy-optimal path planning and perpetual endurance for unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with solar cells on the wings, which collect energy used to drive a propeller. Perpetual endurance is the ability to collect more energy than is lost during a day. This paper considers two unmanned aerial vehicle missions: 1) to travel between given positions within an allowed duratio...
متن کاملPeriodic Energy-Optimal Path Planning for Solar-Powered Aircraft
[Abstract] This paper considers energy-optimal path planning in a loitering mission for solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) which collect solar energy from the sun to power their flight. We consider ascending and descending flight maneuvers in a periodic mission constrained to the surface of a vertical cylinder. The coupling of the aircraft kinematic and energetic models is treated in...
متن کاملPreliminary Design of a Composite Wing-sail
An Abaqus/Standard FEA based study was carried out to develop a structural format for a wing sail used on a sailing boat, V-39 Albatross. As well as providing a novel structural solution to meet a challenging set of requirements, the study has given the necessary mass properties and stiffness data required to further progress the preliminary design phase of the overall boat. The brief for the b...
متن کاملObliique-Wing Aircraft
The application of the eigensystem synthesis technique to place the closed-loop eigenvalues and shape the closed-loop eigenvectors has not been practical for active flutter suppression, primarily because of the availability of only one control surface (aileron) for flutter suppression. The oblique-wing aircraft, because of its configuration, provides two independent surfaces (left and right ail...
متن کاملElectric Solar Wind Sail Mass Budget Model
The electric solar wind sail (E-sail) is a new type of propellantless propulsion system for Solar System transportation, which uses the natural solar wind for producing spacecraft propulsion. This paper discusses a mass breakdown and a performance model for 5 an E-sail spacecraft that hosts a scientific payload of prescribed mass. In particular, the model is able to estimate the total spacecraf...
