Autonomous Soaring Project Phase Two
Authors: R. Irvine and F. Innes, A. Brown, S. Vosper, G. Rooney and B. Devenish and M.K. Hook and R. Watkin
This SEAS DTC funded research aims to demonstrate autonomous soaring using a surrogate manned sailplane. This phase of the research follows from the Innovation Funded Research previously undertaken within the SEAS DTC. The demonstrations undertaken during this phase show the capability to predict and exploit orographic and thermal soaring opportunities within the local atmosphere. Correlation between prediction and demonstration measurement was achieved. The soaring opportunities predicted could be exploited by Autonomous Air Vehicles (AAVs) in order to improve range and endurance.
