Development of a solar powered multirotor micro aerial vehicle by Aly Abidali, Stephen A. Agha, Antonio Munjiza, Mohammad H. Shaheed

“…Abstract Rotary-wing aerial vehicles offer manoeuvrability and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) advantages over fixed-wing systems. Rotary-wing systems do however have comparatively higher energy demands and consequently shorter flight times and therefore a greater energy dependence over their fixed-wing counterparts. …”
