In this paper, we propose a method that calculates the path that minimizes the energy consumption under wind conditions. Unlike previous work that only estimates the path that minimizes the number of flight lines, we have tested the model in simulation and in real experiments obtaining promising results. In some cases, the lowest energy path does not follow the direction of the wind, this contrasts with the well-known flight recommendations, but achieves the target of reducing energy.","PeriodicalId":273081,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Mechatronics, Electronics and Automotive Engineering (ICMEAE)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116946280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore we use two performance indices, which provide a measure of the steady-state error, to measure the quality of the estimated disturbances.
