In this paper the developed optimization algorithm for electrical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is described for minimization of energy consumption. The main advantage of the proposed algorithm is the unification and usability for any electrical UAV with different number of traction drives, different or variable mass and other configuration differences without any initial manual setup. With the proposed algorithm any electric UAV is able to move with maximal energy efficiency.
