It is thought that changes in the concentration of cloud-active aerosol can alter the
precipitation efficiency of clouds, thereby changing cloud amount and, hence, the radiative …

Solar-powered airplanes are studied in this research. A solar-powered airplane consumes
solar energy instead of traditional fossil fuels; thus it has received a significant amount of …

The research and development of diverse types of airships are reviewed in this paper. The
early history of non-rigid, semi-rigid, and rigid airships is first introduced. It is followed by a …

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the research and development of
high-altitude airships. These systems provide a suspended platform using buoyancy at 17 …

Due to the latest technological breakthroughs, High-Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) have
recently become a feasible solution with great potential in the aerospace industry for Earth …

A novel planar path following control method for an underactuated stratospheric airship is
presented in this study. Firstly, the Guidance‐Based Path Following (GBPF) principle and …

A novel path following control method related to the planar and spatial motions for an
underactuated autonomous airship is presented. First, the trajectory linearisation control …

A stable, ultra long-duration high-altitude balloon (HAB) platform which can maintain
stationary position would represent a new paradigm for telecommunications and high …

The gas temperature of a stratospheric airship plays an important role in its flight dynamics.
A multi-nodes heat transient model is proposed and evaluated by the theoretical solutions of …

A nonlinear adaptive trajectory tracking control strategy is proposed for a fully actuated
stratospheric airship subject to uncertain mass and inertia parameters. Based on the …
