Abstract
Abstract: The Generally domain Aircraft uses conventional fuel. These fuel having limited life, high cost and pollutant. So there is great demand of use of non-exhaustible unlimited source of energy like solar energy. Solar aircraft is one of the ways to utilize solar energy. A few manned and unmanned solar powered aircraft have been developed and flown in the last 30 years. Solar aircraft uses solar panel to collect the solar radiation for immediate use but it also store the remaining part for the night flight. This experiment intended to stimulate research on renewable energy sources for aviation. The basic challenges for a solar powered aircraft are Geographical area of operation, payload, Energy collection and utilization, and design parameter. This research runs over an extensive period of time, which will provide us with sufficient opportunities todo research and create designs. Assuming we will be able to make accurate calculations, our expectations are that we will actually produce an aircraft capable of flying on solar power. A simulated Remote Control (RC) model size solar airplane allowed to vary altitude proves to be capable of flying multiple day-night cycles at medium and high latitudes during summer. Still, it should be noted that the plane we manufactured is a prototype only. We gathered enormous amounts of knowledge. For if development continues, solar powered aircraft might truly be used in future for different types of aerial monitoring and unmanned flights.
