About the Solar-Powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market
UAVs are commonly referred to as drones or remotely piloted aircraft. These vehicles are either operated by remote control from the ground or by onboard computers. Conventional UAVs range from large-sized UAVs employed for tactical missions and powered by an internal combustion engine, to small electric-powered UAVs.
However, new technologies have been entering the market over the last decade. Of late, photovoltaic cells, hydrogen fuel cells, and hybrid-electric propulsion engines are increasingly used to power these UAVs.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global solar powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market to grow at a CAGR of 12.81% during the period 2016-2020.
