A Novel Energy Harvester for Powering Small UAVs: Performance Analysis, Model Validation and Flight Results

The proposed work aims at exploring and developing new strategies to extend mission parameters (measured as travel distance and mission duration (MD)) of a new class of unmanned vehicles, named Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). In this paper, a new analytical model, identifying all factors, which determine...
