With the increasing demand for airborne surveillance, it is desirable that unmanned aircraft be able to achieve longer flights than manned aircraft, yet it is difficult to achieve continuous flights of several months or even years for performing reconnaissance surveillance and communication relay tasks, relying solely on fuel. The solar aircraft converts solar energy into electric energy in the middle of daytime flight, one part of the electric energy is directly used for flight, redundant electric energy is stored in the storage battery for use at night or when solar radiation is weak, and the operation mode can be continuously circulated when the sun rises the next day. The key technology of the solar aircraft for realizing uninterrupted continuous flight is that the energy converted in the daytime can meet the flight consumption in the daytime and the flight requirement at night.
Due to the factors of strong solar illumination, long illumination time, high solar altitude angle and the like near summer, the solar aircraft can convert to obtain more electric energy in the daytime flight process, so that most solar aircraft can only continuously fly near summer. In winter, the solar aircraft obtains less electric energy through conversion due to factors such as small solar altitude angle and short illumination time in northern latitude and high latitude areas, so that day and night continuous flight is difficult to realize.

the outer wing is provided with a solar cell panel and an illumination acquisition module;
the illumination acquisition module is used for acquiring illumination intensity and controlling the movement of the wing variant mechanism through the navigation system to realize the control of the angle of the outer wing.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following remarkable advantages:
(1) the skin that has solar cell panel is installed on the unmanned aerial vehicle wing, makes the aircraft usable solar energy as the flight energy when flying, is favorable to improving duration to the environmental protection.
