I've been contemplating this question: at what air speed can the I2 cover the most distance on a set of full batteries. For this theoretical question, we can assume no wind, level, straight flight. This could translate to a more practical question: if I'm running low on battery, what...
Finally, diversified allocation strategies such as adjusting flight paths, flight speeds, and flight times are designed. Based on the multi-strategy self-adaptive configuration, an optimization and allocation model is established. The optimization performance and parameter sensitivity of the proposed method...
In all scenarios tested, the direction selectivity of collision-free maneuver can be successfully integrated into the DORCA algorithm, and the algorithm is more efficient than the ORCA algorithm for collision avoidance in decentralized way. Introduction With the increasing of airspace density, more ...
The most stringent constraint comes from the convection flux that grows quickly when entering the dense atmosphere layers at hypersonic speeds. A near-horizontal flight is mandatory to achieve a progressive braking at limited thermal flux and load factor levels. The aerodynamic forces are controlled ...
(SVC). The optimization objective aims to minimize the generation cost and power transmission losses. The paper employs a suitable wind speed probability function to model the randomly generated wind speeds in the optimization process. This incorporation allows for a realistic representation of the ...

We then compared the upwind speeds of moths tested with flower plumes with those of moths tested with an empty control. Nectar analyses and net-energy calculation. The energetic outcome of the moth foraging flight is affected by the moth's energy invested and the energy gained through the ...
Cost efficient foraging is of especial importance for animals like hawkmoths or hummingbirds that are feeding ‘on the wing’, making their foraging energetically demanding. The economic decisions made by these animals have a strong influence on the plan
Extensive simulations validate the effectiveness of our designed algorithm and further highlight the importance of UAVs’ flight speeds in achieving both energy-efficient and time-efficient data collection. Keywords: UAV-enabled WSN; trajectory design; multi-objective optimization...
