Drone Flight Optimization

Drone flight optimization is a critical aspect of modern UAV operations, as it can help to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness while minimizing risk and improving safety. Some objectives include reduced flight time, increased payload capacity, improved battery life, or minimized risk.

Drone flight optimization can use model predictive control (MPC) to optimize flight paths in real-time. MPC accounts for a range of factors such as wind speed and direction, altitude, and obstacles, to determine the most efficient and safest route for the drone to follow. If fast enough, MPC can adjust the drone flight path real-time to avoid obstacles or take advantage of changing weather conditions.

This simplified problem is to optimize the time for a drone to achieve a fixed distance of 300 units in minimum time to a stationary target.
