Underwater vehicles have capacity limits for control inputs, within which their time-optimal trajectories (TOTs) can be formulated. In this study, the fastest trajectory for the depth control of a hybrid underwater glider (HUG) was found using buoyancy e...

Ice accretion on rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (RWUAVs) needs to be studied separately from the fixed-wing UAVs because of the additional flow complexities induced by the propeller rotation. The aerodynamics of rotatory wings are extremely challen...
