Very Long Endurance Propulsion Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
All-Electric power and propulsion system architectures have been investigated in order to demonstrate the feasibility of such an approach to increase the endurance of a high altitude long endurance UAV to a target mission duration of 1 week. System modelling studies demonstrate the possibility of utilising combined fuel cell and photo-voltaic systems as power sources for an electric distribution system which in turn powers electric motor driven propellers.
