Increasing persistence of UAVs and MAVs through thermal soaring

This work looks to harness atmospheric energy through thermal soaring to optimise the flight persistence of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) and Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs). There are two key challenges when considering thermal soaring, the first being the locating of thermals and the second being the ext...
