摘要
This paper aims to develop a high-altitude solar-powered hybrid airship, which combines aerodynamic lift and buoyancy with buoyancy force and cruises continuously. A multi-lobed configuration is employed and the solar irradiance and photovoltaic array model are proposed. After introducing all the parts mass of the hybrid airship and design procedure, an optimal problem with the constraint of energy and the equilibrium between buoyancy and weight are proposed. Through a hybrid optimization search method, the solution is obtained and the sensitivities of geographical location and seasons are discussed. The results show a comprehensive influence of the constraint both in latitude and wind field environment. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
