Development and Application of Solar-Powered Aircraft Technology
摘要
Abstract
Solar-powered aircraft has the advantages of prolonged high-altitude flight,operational flexibility,and zero carbon emissions,making it one of the emerging fields that the global aerospace industry prioritizes.This study investigates the current development status of solar-powered aircraft in China and abroad and summarizes the development trends of its key technologies,including advanced aerodynamic design,efficient and low-cost solar cells,high-energy-density batteries,and efficient and wide-operating-condition propulsion.Based on the energy balance and mass balance principles,this study establishes an overall performance simulation model for solar-powered aircraft,predicting the development trends of its mass,sustainable flight altitude,and load capacity.The primary development direction of solar-powered aircraft is long-endurance,high-altitude,solar-powered unmanned air vehicles,which has important application prospects in the fields of military reconnaissance,environmental monitoring,and communication relay.Based on the predictive results and key technology research,this study proposes the short-,medium-,and long-term development goals and key tasks of solar-powered aircraft.Furthermore,it proposes strategies and policy recommendations to promote the sustainable development of solar-powered aircraft from three different levels:overall idea,technological breakthroughs,and system construction.关键词
