OptimalFlightPaths

Installation

First, install Julia 1.10 or newer as explained here.

Checkout this repo:

git clone https://github.com/OpenSourceAWE/OptimalFlightPaths.jl.git

Start Julia with

cd OptimalFlightPaths.jl
julia --project

Install the dependencies with:

using Pkg
Pkg.instantiate()

Run the first example with:

include("examples/create_flightpath.jl")

You should see a tilted figure of eight.

The second example uses sliders to modify 7 parameters:

include("examples/sliders.jl")

Next Steps

• implement a path following controller (not in this package, but in SimpleKiteControllers.jl)
• implement a function that runs the controller for at least one figure of eight (and some initialization to reach a stable, repetitive trajectory) and that returns the average traction force in x direction and the average steering power
• add an optimizer using Nomad.jl that optimizes the 7 parameters
