Designing a Long Endurance Solar Unmanned Air Vehicle

A collaboration between two universities King Abdulaziz University (Saudi Aribia) and Tokai University (Japan), to design build and fly test a long endurance day and night flight Solar Unmanned Aircraft. A software was developed, wind tunnel test was conducted, research was done, and finally performed a successful test flight. The design was done with appropriate aerodynamic attributes, power requirements and other flight mission constraints to keep the vehicle airborne for multi day and night operations. The aim of this book is to summarize the work done in this project.
