Keeping in mind that lower altitudesare more ideal for planetary exploration, an altitude of 5km was chosen for further analysis. Figure1(b) presents the constraint analysis and solution space of the system at an altitude of 5 km. Thesolution space in Figure 1(b) provides the wing loading necessary for flight to be 30N/m2. Throughanalysis of the weight distributions of various gliders with similar flight capabilities trying to beachieved such as the AAI RQ-7 Shadow [3], the estimated total weight of the drone is 30 N, with astructural, equipment, and fuel weight of 135 N, 67.5 N, and 67.5 N
