Abstract: This project specifically incorporates clean energy sources for existing design of self powered surveillance RC aircraft. Solar and wind energy are the main clean energy sources currently being utilized in aviation applications. Normally these two sources are independently utilized to serve a specific purpose. However, this project essentially merges these two sources of clean energy, and provides an effective approach to power a radio controlled surveillance aircraft. Theoretical analysis has been conducted to estimate the required parameters; power & battery requirements, weight & payload, surface area and cost. Then these theoretical results are primarily compared with the experimental results available; thus validating the results. Therefore, it is concluded that solar and wind energies can be effectively combined to produce a reliable self powered RC surveillance aircraft, and can be further enhanced to meet the required specifications for any application; thus, implementing it on a larger scale.
