The electric seaplane, designed for take-off and landing directly on water, incorporates additional structures such as floats to meet operational requirements. Consequently, during the take-off taxiing phase, it encounters significantly higher aerodynami...

Minimizing electric losses is critical to the success of battery-powered small unmanned aerial systems (SUASs) that weigh less than 25 kgf (55 lb). Losses increase energy and battery weight requirements which hinder the vehicle?s range and endurance. How...
