태양광 에너지 무인항공기의 장기체공을 위한 경로 탐색 = Efficient Path Planning for Long Term Solar UAV Flight

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sufficient energy charging during a day is essential for a solar-powered long-endurance aircraft. Variations of flight path that is superior to a basic circle path are sought in this study for more efficient charging. Flight path associated with roll and pitch attitudes are investigated. It seems that the pitch angle can play more important role than the roll angle for the solar charging efficiency. Thus, more energy charging is observed when the entire flight path is tilted toward the direction of the sun.
