This paper discusses the performance and flight dynamics analysis of an unconventional, highly efficient solar-powered unmanned aerial system. The design geometry, aerodynamic performance, and mass distribution were analysed to find a solution for a stable and efficient aircraft. The aim of the project is to design and build a sustainable UAS.
