A computer-implemented method includes: retrieving, by a computer device, an initial flight path for a first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the initial flight path being from a geographical point A to a geographical point B; generating, by the computer device, a projected initial energy consumption of the first UAV for completion of a flight along the initial flight path; retrieving, by the computer device, a flight path of a second UAV; generating, by the computer device, a projected revised energy consumption of the first UAV for completion of a flight along an altered flight path, the altered flight path being a flight path from point A to point B where the first UAV aerodynamically drafts the second UAV for at least a portion of the altered flight path; comparing, by the computer device, the projected revised energy consumption to the projected initial energy consumption to determine which of the projected revised energy consumption and the projected initial energy consumption is lower; establishing, by the computer device, the altered flight path as a chosen flight path if the projected revised energy consumption is lower than the projected initial energy consumption; establishing, by the computer device, the initial flight path as the chosen flight path if the projected revised energy consumption is higher than the projected initial energy consumption; and sending, by the computer device, instructions to the first UAV to fly along the chosen flight path.
