Abstract

FIELD: aviation.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the power supply of unmanned aerial vehicles. The power supply system of the unmanned aerial vehicle comprises sliding solar modules made in the form of sections divided into segments (1). The segments (1) are equipped with solar cells (2). The segments (1) are connected to each other with the possibility of longitudinal movement and carry solar cells. Solar modules are equipped with drives to move the system into operating or transport position. Each section is connected to a sliding mechanism comprising a guide, a fixed bracket and a movable bracket. For a section with an odd number of segments, the movable bracket is located on the guide below the fixed bracket, and for a section with an even number of segments, it is located above the fixed bracket, ensuring that the outer segments remain open in the folded state of the section and the ability to supply power in the folded position of the module.EFFECT: autonomy of an unmanned aerial vehicle is increased without deteriorating its flight and aerodynamic characteristics.4 cl, 7 dwg
