Undoubtedly, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, have experienced significant growth in recent decades and will continue their increase. Presently, drone operators view the endurance of their devices’ flights as one of the most challenging obstacles. This challenge becomes even more pronounced when UAVs must remain airborne for extended periods without ground contact for recharging or refueling. This contribution further addresses autonomous Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) flight, hydrogen propulsion, and optimized joined wing design, considering both demands and constraints. However, as no recent scientific work adequately addresses all these challenges, this disquisition aims to provide mitigation strategies by proposing prudent routing for an already constructed drone prototype. Findings from an experimental test flight substantiate the intended improvements.
