This article discusses a new method for adjusting the ground speed of a multicopter-type unmanned aerial vehicle and the initial, previously planned trajectory of its movement, taking into account horizontal stationary wind flows. The use of this technique for local rescheduling of the trajectories being worked out makes it possible to reduce the probability of loss of stability and controllability of such a device, as well as to reduce energy costs when driving in conditions of significant winds with an acceptable deviation from the initial trajectory. The developed algorithm is the basis for the synthesis of more accurate algorithms for local correction of the initial trajectory of motion in a complex field of wind speeds. The efficiency of the algorithm is confirmed by the physical correctness of the simulation results.

Keywords: unmanned aerial vehicle, wind load, stability and controllability of the vehicle, local adjustment of the planned trajectory, reduction of energy costs
