Solar Endurance Flight

Published on 20 May 2022. Written by Dhilan Mandaliya

Sailplanes are aerodynamically streamlined and are capable of gaining altitude and remain airborne, while maintaining forward motion. The main advantage of the sailplane solar glider is to generate free energy from the sun. That's the difference between a normal glider and solar sailplane glider. By using this model you can increase the endurance of flight.

Project Description:

Fist of all this project is similar to the normal glider the difficult step here to make a flexible solar panel which you have to fix on top of wingspan area and connect to a rechargeable battery. To make your Solar Endurance Flight the dimensions of your glider should be optimum and aerodynamic.

Measurements for Endurance Flight:

Wingspan = y to y+10
Wingspan = y to y+10
Angle of attack = 3-4 degree
Horizontal Stabilizer = 20-25% of wing area
Vertical Stabilizer = 40-50% of vertical stabilizer
Dihedral angle = 2-3 Degree
One rudder( control Surface )
Length to Fuselage = 65-75% span

Components for Endurance Flight:

Radio.
Receiver(2.4GH).
Battery( 200mah).
Battery Charger.
Coreless Motor.
Props.
Solar panel(flexible).

Final step:

Ya, you are ready to fly your Solar Endurance Flight by just having some flying skills
