弗吉尼亚理工大学无人系统实验室(USL)开发了一种新的飞翼设计，以服务于发展中国家的送货和遥感应用。全自动无人机(UAV)名为EcoSoar，其设计目标是为低资源社区的当地企业家创造商业机会。该系统的开发方式是，飞机的本地制造、操作和维护都是可能的。为了为持续的无人机服务提供具有竞争力的财务模式，EcoSoar采用了可靠的低成本材料和电子产品。本文展示了改进设计的快速原型和飞行实验工作，来自马拉维卡森古的以EcoSoar为中心的无人机车间的测试结果，最后是飞行测试的射程优化研究
A new flying wing design has been developed at the Unmanned Systems Lab (USL) at Virginia Tech to serve delivery and remote sensing applications in the developing world. The fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), named EcoSoar, was designed with the goal of creating a business opportunity for local entrepreneurs in low-resource communities. The system was developed in such a way that local fabrication, operation, and maintenance of the aircraft are all possible. In order to present a competitive financial model for sustained drone services, EcoSoar is made with reliable low-cost materials and electronics. This paper lays out the rapid prototyping and flight experiment efforts that went into polishing the design, test results from an EcoSoar centered drone workshop in Kasungu, Malawi, and finally a range optimization study with flight test
