ON OBTAINING ENERGY-OPTIMAL TRAJECTORIES FOR LANDING OF UAVS

On Obtaining Energy-Optimal Trajectories for Landing of UAVs

The optimization issues connected to a landing task of an unmanned aerial vehicle are discussed in the paper, based on a model of a mini-class drone.Three landing scenarios are considered, including minimum-time landing, landing with minimum energy consumption, and planned landing.With the use of classical dynamic programming techniques, including

Holocene fluvial landscape evolution driven by sea level and tectonic controls in the Gangkou River, Hengchun Peninsula

The fluvial landscape of the Hengchun Peninsula in southernmost Taiwan is generally characterized by a narrow river and a wide valley plain.Such underfit stream features are unusual in tectonically active areas such as Hobby Max Taiwan.In this research, we hypothesize that the relative sea level change since the end of the last glacial period might
