A hybrid thrusting system for increasing the endurance time of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2023 One of the most significant disadvantages of electric multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles is their short flight time compared to fuel-powered unmanned aerial vehicles. This is mainly due to the low energy density of electric batteries. Fuel has much more
