Design of Low Altitude Long Endurance Solar-Powered UAV Using Genetic Algorithm

This paper presents a novel framework for the design of a low altitude long endurance solar-powered UAV for multiple-day flight. The genetic algorithm is used to optimize wing airfoil using CST parameterization, along with wing, horizontal and vertical tail geometry. The mass estimation model presen...
