Abstract
Most civilian uses of UASs require the air vehicle to fly at speeds lower than 50 kts (70 km/h) and at low heights, and many applications need the ability of the aircraft to hover (e.g., power line inspection, subsurface geology, mineral resource analysis, or incident control by police and fire services) (Chap. 1). Moreover, in some cases, this type of platform needs to execute extended missions with significant flight duration time. This chapter focuses on the flight time of the vehicle and proposes an alternative approach to improve the endurance of a non-expensive, commercial quadrotor, by applying a balloon to reduce weight and power consumption needed for flight.
