Abstract:The article presents an analysis of the possibilities of supporting the Vertical Take off and Landing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle electric power systems by using photovoltaic cells. A typical commercial VTOL class drone with electric power was selected for analysis. Concepts of power supply supported by photovoltaic cells have been developed. Analysis of the potential change in performance through the use of such support are presented on the basis of the UAV simulation model and the model-based design. The simulat… Show more
