Abstract:
Dynamic soaring is a flight mode by which an energy gain from the wind can be achieved so that flying without cost is possible. The amount of gainable energy depends on the shear wind strength and the flight direction relative to the wind. This issue is addressed for upwind dynamic soaring with regard to the necessity of enhancing the flight performance using thrust from an engine. For dealing with that problem, flight mechanics and shear wind models for upwind dynamic soaring are developed and...     »
