Introduction to UAV Researches at Korea
Aerospace University
Abstract
Korea Aerospace University (KAU), a specialized aerospace university, is recognized in Republic of Korea for its outstanding research capabilities in the development and testing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Recently, KAU conducted flight tests of a solar-powered UAV developed at KAU in Antarctica, demonstrating the potential of solar-powered UAVs in polar regions. This presentation will present recent research conducted at KAU on solar-powered UAVs, fixed-wing UAV aerial docking/reintegration, Morphing UAVs, eVTOL, and multi-UAV cooperation, etc.
