Highways in the Sky: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Routing Under Dynamic Wind Profiles in Low-Altitude Urban Airspace

This paper develops a wind-aware routing framework for low-altitude small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating under FAA Part 107 with maximum takeoff weight under 55 lb and altitudes at or below 400 ft above ground level, and evaluates how spatiotemporal wind influences travel time and energy consumption. The fra...
