Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back COMPARATIVE ESTIMATION OF AUTOMATIC CHARGING AND EXCHANGE-CHARGING STATIONS FOR MAINTENANCE OF SMALL ELECTRIC UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES V.S. Fetisov, S.R. Akhmerov To obtain continuous functioning for small electric unmanned aerial vehicles it is necessary to have some means for charging or changing on-board batteries. It can be easy realized with special ground service stations. Two variants of such stations are discussed in this paper – automatic charging stations and automatic exchangecharging stations. Comparision are made from the viewpoint of economical reasonability of application for both types of stations. Key words: unmanned aerial vehicle, accumulator battery, automatic charging station, automatic exchange-charging station.
