Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturing, and specifically relates to a solar wing for an unmanned aerial vehicle used for flexible perovskite solar cells. Background Art
[0002] Currently, for traditional fuel-consuming drones, engine power is affected by the thin air in the critical space. However, for drones equipped with solar cells, near-space has minimal impact. Furthermore, traditional solar drones mostly use single-crystal silicon solar cells, but their poor deformation resistance makes them difficult to adapt to high-curvature airfoils. This requires a high-aspect-ratio structural design to ensure sufficient deployment area, resulting in inefficient utilization of the wing's leading edge. This structural design is specifically designed for flexible perovskite solar cells with high deformation resistance, specifically for fixed-wing drone solar wing substrates. Flexible perovskite cells utilize organometallic halide perovskite materials, which are not only low-cost but also easy to manufacture and process. Compared to traditional silicon-based solar cells, perovskite materials offer significant advantages in raw material costs. Furthermore, perovskite solar cells are low-cost to produce. They are also lightweight and thin, making installation and use more convenient, allowing for easy attachment to various surfaces without significantly impacting the existing structure.

[0006] The skin comprises a carbon fiber grid bonded to the wing structure, a polyimide film bonded to the carbon fiber grid, and a flexible solar cell panel disposed on the polyimide film;
