Birds have long been known to use wind currents to fly long distances without flapping their wings. Due to technological advances, bird-sized aerial vehicles have now become practical. This book describes how such aircraft can extract the energy available in atmospheric turbulence. The principle of energy extraction is explained using simple gusts to illustrate the important concepts. Control algorithms are then developed to gain energy from realistic atmospheric turbulence. These theoretical studies are complemented by experimental validation using a dedicated autopilot and a small Unmanned A...
