Abstract

The paper proposes an algorithm for estimating the available and required power for the VTOL unmanned aircraft based on speed data obtained during acceleration of a plane in horizontal flight with the engine operating at maximum output power. We consider the scheme of refinement of navigation calculations for controlling the throttle of the fuel supply and elevator and lateral control of an unmanned aircraft during flight along a given route. The results of numerical simulation are presented.
