Flight paths for microwave-powered airplanes were investigated under uniform wind conditions. Some techniques for deducing flight paths are discussed. The loci of airspeed vectors which lead to preferable flight paths are sorted into four types. The effects of added higher harmonic components are discussed. For each type of airspeed vector loci, three kinds of solving methods are applied and 12 solutions are obtained. Examples of flight paths are illustrated with their mathematical expressions, and characteristics are discussed. Preferable flight paths from the view point of airplane design are described.
