MDAO and Aeroelastic Analyses of Small Solar-Powered UAVs with Box-Wing and Tandem-Wing Architectures
The market of solar-powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for defence purposes and drone services is expected to grow by a factor of more than 2 in the next decade. From an aircraft design perspective, the main challenge is the scalability of the proposed architectures, which is needed to increase...
