Abstract

This paper presents the harnessing of environmental friendly solar energy and its application to the Electric battery powered RC Aircraft. Main purpose was to establish highly efficient solar RC aircraft system with improved flight time. Designed aircraft is capable to fly on solar energy having increased flight time. To ensure lesser energy consumption and economic in cost, aircraft was considered to be light weight. Therefore several precautions were taken in terms of material and the basic geometry. A 3D model of RC aircraft with limitations was designed. Specific number of solar cells is installed on wing solely dependent on onboard load. Maximum power is provided by solar cells to increase its flight time. Likewise different mathematical calculations were carried out to make it energy efficient.
