The phenomenon of dynamic soaring, as exhibited by soaring birds, has long been a biological inspiration for aerospace and control engineers. If this fascinating phenomenon, which allows soaring birds to perform almost unpowered flight using wind shear, can be mimicked by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), then there is substantial potential for technological and economic enhancement of UAV performance. Although there has been a considerable amount of research covering the modeling, optimization, control and simulation aspects of different UAVs performing dynamic soaring, there is little to no conclusive work analyzing the stability of such UAVs in soaring orbits.
