  • Abstract
    In this paper we address the endurance optimization problem for an electric powered fixed wing aircraft. An endurance equation in terms of aircraft aerodynamics and electric power plant characteristics is obtained. The endurance equation is optimized as a nonlinear problem and handled using optimization constrained techniques. This gives an optimal basic aircraft sizing with maximum endurance.
