Embodiment 1

[0028] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present embodiment provides a solar powered aircraft, comprising a body, a thin-film solar cell arranged on the surface of the body and a controller arranged inside the body, the body includes two symmetrically arranged flying wings 2, each flying wing 2 is at least It includes a first end wing 21 and a second end wing 22, and the first end wing 21 and the second end wing 22 are rotationally connected through a first rotating shaft 41, and the controller is used to control the rotation of the first rotating shaft 41 according to the irradiation angle of sunlight to increase The illuminated area of ​​the thin-film solar cell arranged on the surface of the body and the solar radiation energy received per unit area.

[0029] In other variable embodiments, the flying wing 2 may also include more than two end wings, such as 3 or 4, and the adjacent two end wings are connected by rotating shafts, so each flying wing 2 is increased by one The en...

Embodiment 2

[0040] Such as figure 2 and image 3 As shown, the present embodiment provides another solar-powered aircraft, including a body, a thin-film solar cell arranged on the surface of the body, and a controller arranged inside the body. The body includes two symmetrically arranged flying wings 2, and each flying wing 2 It includes at least the first end wing 21 and the second end wing 22, and the first end wing 21 and the second end wing 22 are rotationally connected through the first rotating shaft 41, and the controller is used to control the rotation of the first rotating shaft 41 according to the irradiation angle of sunlight so as to The illumination area of ​​the thin-film solar cell arranged on the surface of the body and the solar radiant energy received per unit area are increased. The body also includes a fuselage 1 and two third rotating shafts 43. The two flying wings 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the fuselage 1 and are connected to the fuselage 1 throu...

Embodiment 3

[0048] This embodiment provides a control method for a controller of a solar-powered aircraft, comprising the following steps:

[0049] First, get the angle of the sunlight;

[0050] Then, calculate the illuminated area of ​​the thin-film solar cell on the surface of the body and the solar radiation energy received per unit area;

[0051] Finally, when the irradiated area and the solar radiant energy received per unit area are less than the preset threshold, the rotation of the two first rotating shafts 41 is adjusted multiple times in the direction of increasing the irradiated area and the received solar radiant energy per unit area until the illuminated area and the solar radiant energy received per unit area The solar radiation energy received per unit area is the largest.

[0052] The control method used for the controller of the solar-powered aircraft provided by this embodiment can control the rotation of the first rotating shaft 41 in real time according to the irradia...
