A comprehensive review of energy sources for unmanned aerial vehicles, their shortfalls and opportunities for improvements ↗

Ashleigh Townsend; Immanuel N. Jiya; Christiaan Martinson; Dmitri Bessarabov; Rupert Gouws2020-11-16

Review comparing UAV energy sources and hybrid combinations.

Was die Quelle herausgefunden hat / Was sie nicht belegen kann

Was die Quelle herausgefunden hat

Energy storage and peak power are different constraints; hybrids introduce mass and complexity.

Was sie nicht belegen kann

Uses older specifications and unlike aircraft; its technology forecasts and rankings are not current market facts.
