Abstract EN
In supply chain context, cargo are handled along the chain by a number of entities with varying responsibilities, including aircraft operators, express carriers, postal operators, regulated agents, consignors, consignees and ground handlers.
Air cargo transport enables nations, regardless of their geographic location, to efficiently connect to distant markets and global supply chains in a speedy and reliable manner.
This is vital for implementing best international business practices, including just-in-time inventory management and build-to-order production.
The provision of required service level by customers is influenced by distributing products at the right time, to the right place and in the right condition.
Hence, the delivery drone presents a viable option to support the initiative of maintaining service levels while reducing cost.
For this purpose, this paper aims to design an Unmanned Air Vehicle (GEUAV) for delivery purposes in supply chains (SCs) in Egypt, using a green energy source.
One of the main findings is current Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) cannot meet the supply chain requirements of fast dynamic response time, high peak power, low cost, and robustness.
The hybrid the fuel cells with an auxiliary energy source, like Li-Ion batteries, is recommended to increase the overall energy efficiency of the Electronic Unmanned Air Vehicle (EUAV) supply system.
Also, many green energy sources, such as solar and fuel cells, are available, and each has its advantages and disadvantages.
Based on the requirements and limitations of air supply applications, fuel cells, and solar cells are recommended as primary sources of power for aircraft engines.
On the other hand, GEUAV is more efficient delivery mode for distribution purposes in the supply chain.
