The use of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles has increased for High-Speed flights, leading to the need for improved performance. Trajectory planning is the primary approach to achieving high speeds, as it is safer and more flexible than other planning types. Some approaches include polynomial trajectories, optimization-based, search-based, sampling-based, and artificial intelligence, mainly reinforcement learning. This paper provides an overview of the main techniques for high-speed trajectory planning in UAVs and the challenges associated with them. It also describes essential UAV dynamics, control, and perception to reach high speeds. These techniques are demonstrated in several missions and environments, describing their methodologies. Finally, we discuss the open problems and potential future research directions in this field.
