Thermal Energy Extraction Methods for UAV Gliders
An aircraft’s flight-time is restricted by its fuel capacity or battery life. This senior design project explores the benefits of extracting energy from the environment for a small, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), specifically focusing on static soaring and solar energy extraction. Soaring is accompl...
