UAV formation keeping is an important research element due to its cooperative formation control. This study proposes a passive positioning model for UAVs based on the Monte Carlo strategy and provides a trajectory programming decision scheme based on the...

Inspired by the behaviour of animal populations in nature, we propose a novel exploration algorithm based on Lévy flight (LF) and artificial potential field (APF). The agent is extended to the swarm level using the APF method through the LF search enviro...

The aerodynamic formation flight, which is also known as aircraft wake-surfing for efficiency (AWSE), enables aircraft to harvest the energy inherent in another aircraft?s wake vortex. As the thrust of the trailing aircraft can be reduced during cruise f...

The operational concept of aerodynamic formation flight, also referred to as aircraft wake-surfing for efficiency (AWSE), has high potential in terms of fuel savings and climate impact mitigation. In order to implement this concept, many technological an...

In the present day, unmanned aerial vehicles become seemingly more popular every year, but, without regulation of the increasing number of these vehicles, the air space could become chaotic and uncontrollable. In this work, a framework is proposed to com...

An operational measure that is inspired by migrant birds aiming toward the mitigation of aviation climate impact is to fly in aerodynamic formation. When this operational measure is adapted to commercial aircraft it saves fuel and is, therefore, expected...

Formation flight is one potential measure to increase the efficiency of aviation. Flying in the upwash region of an aircraft?s wake vortex field is aerodynamically advantageous. It saves fuel and concomitantly reduces the carbon foot print. However, ????...
