Conceptual design and multidisciplinary optimisation of power device for solar powered aircraft [PDF]
Solar-powered aircraft is propelled by a photovoltaic cell that converts solar energy into electrical energy. The extra energy is stored in a rechargeable battery for later use when solar energy is not available. The performance of solar-powered aircraft

The impact of altitude, latitude, and endurance duration on the design of a high altitude, solar powered unmanned aerial vehicle [PDF]
In this paper, a previously developed conceptual design tool has been used to study the impact of the latitude, altitude, and the flight duration on the weight estimation and the main characteristics of a high altitude, long endurance and solar powered ...

Handling Qualities Optimization in Aircraft Conceptual Design
The handling qualities of an aircraft have always been a crucial field of study, being chiefly concerned with the safety and comfort of flight. Historically, the design-by-discipline approach has been used, thus relegating stability and control considerations to later stages of the design process. In recent years a new view emerged, which advocates the

On aircraft simulation in conceptual design
The aerospace industry has a long tradition of using Model Based Systems Engineering in its development processes. Throughout the years an extensive library of system simulation models has been created, expanding with every new model being developed. Nevertheless, modelling and simulation engineers prefer developing their own models from scratch, as ...
