A pitot tube having an inclined surface according to one embodiment may comprise: a housing which forms the outer appearance of the pitot tube; an opening which is arranged on the front side of the housing to allow a fluid to be injected thereinto; a first flow path which is connected to the opening; a slit which is arranged on the side of the housing to allow the fluid to be introduced thereinto; a second flow path which is connected to the slit; and a heater for heating frozen ice introduced into the opening and the slit to liquefy the ice, wherein the first flow path may be located above the center of the opening. Further, an inclined surface may be provided between the first flow path and the opening such that the liquefied fluid collides with the inclined surface after passing through the opening.

Disclosed is an automatic climbing and gliding method of a high altitude unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The disclosed method includes setting a cylindrical virtual flight region so that the high altitude UAV climbs and glides, setting a first target point on an end of a first flight radius which is vertically arranged to form the virtual flight region, setting second to Nth target points at arbitrary second to Nth flight radii sequentially arranged above or below the first flight radius, having the target points have a predetermined plane slope angle, and allowing the UAV to climb along a straight path line sequentially connecting each of the target points.
