Energy-Optimal Flight Strategy for Solar-Powered Aircraft Using Reinforcement Learning With Discrete Actions

The low efficiency of photovoltaic cells limits the energy absorption of high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) solar-powered unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs), which dramatically weakens the capacity for long-endurance missions. Therefore, finding a method to extend the flight duration with finite sol...
