Experimental tests are carried out on two prototypes of radio-controlled airplanes built in the Automatic Control Laboratory, which have the particularity that they work 100% with solar energy [1] and supercapacitors. An acceleration control was implemented on an Arduino NANO board to avoid the loss of control of the airplanes due to the lack of incidence of the sun in the cells and as an attached work it is developed in conjunction with the Renewable Energy Laboratory of the Faculty, which has with a wind tunnel, the construction of a three-axis sensor for tests and adjustments of one of the prototypes that has the appropriate dimensions so that it can be tested in it.
