A path optimization strategy for generating energy-aware soaring trajectories for small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) is presented. Soaring paths are generated using a point-mass dynamics model and deterministic local wind field. The dynamics model, periodic constraints, and an energy-aware cost function are combined into a nonlinear program (NLP) framework to generate energy optimal paths. A dynamics...
The growth of air traffic in future years requires a paradigm shift in the way the aircraft are controlled. Major innovative projects (SESAR in Europe, NexGen in USA) have started in order to define and implement control tools based on time-space constraints on aircraft trajectories. As a consequence, an increasing level of automation is expected. In this framework, it is of primary importance to...
