Abstract

When designing unmanned aerial vehicles on solar panels, the main criteria is the possibility of continuous flight, since the main area of application of this type of aircraft is flight at low altitudes. Accordingly, there is an urgent problem, already after the design stage, this is the optimal flight planning in order to fulfill the assigned mission. This article will consider approaches to how it is possible to optimize flight trajectory planning based on two large factors: taking into account the impact of meteorological obstacles (for example, such as clouds and rain, where there is a loss of solar energy, strong winds, which require a lot of energy consumption), as well as local correction of the aircraft position with a permissible deviation from the flight path and the use of maneuvering to increase energy production of solar power system. This is accomplished by adjusting the heading angle and altitude.
