Titel
Application of microcontrollers in solar-powered model gliders with sensor systems
Abstract
Developed at the Paderborn University since 2010, the solar-powered model aircraft has elicited interest in the media and among students of electrical engineering. The plane is equipped with solar cells on its wings, which charge the aircraft batteries during the flight and power the aircraft engine and the electronics. Different sensors are used for navigation and for collecting information about the ambient.
