This study investigates maximizing net power input from a solar-photovoltaic array and/or a thermal updraft while performing constant bank angle, circular flight-path turns (that is, an orbit). The process inputs are the aircraft sink polar (or, equi

For many one-way unmanned aerial vehicle payload delivery and remote sensing missions, the heading to the target location and local winds are known. For these missions, only altitude and heading hold features are needed. Further, because the vehicle

Current methods to enable the automatic recovery of unmanned air vehicles require that additional equipment be installed on the aircraft. This equipment in many cases can be costly, large, or require substantial power limiting these methods to large
