METHOD OF POWER SUPPLY OF AN AIRCRAFT WITH THE USE OF SOLAR BATTERIES USING DIFFUSED AND REFLECTED LIGHT FROM THE UNDERLYING SURFACE AND AN AIRCRAFT FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64D27/24 H02S10/40 B64G1/44 

FIELD: aeronautical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to the field of aeronautical engineering. Method of power supply of an aircraft is based on the use of solar batteries, using a diffused and reflected light from the underlying surface for an aircraft is heavier or lighter than air, intended for movement in the troposphere and/or stratosphere with the help of motors powered by electric energy, including propeller-driven and turbojet engines. To generate electricity, solar panels are used, transforming the scattered and reflected from the underlying surface, including clouds, the light of the visible, as well as the ultraviolet spectrum. Solar batteries are placed on the lower part of the wings, turned during flight to the ground, the body of the aircraft, as well as on the lateral surfaces of its hull or fuselage. Aircraft is configured to implement the method.

EFFECT: group of inventions is aimed at increasing the power-to-weight ratio.
