Published purpose
The main objective of this project is to enhance and expand the research into passive flow control elements development and deployment on glider wings for improved performance in terms of maximum altitude and stratospheric flight duration. The outcome of this work will enhance the performance and peak altitude of the new commercial glider platform at stratospheric elevations. This new technology offers an environmentally friendly, versatile, and cost-effective option for high-altitude Earth observation, satellite testing, and monitoring missions using autonomous aerial vehicles.
