In this paper, we design a path planning algorithm for UAV with maneuverability constraints. In the task of UAV path planning, it is necessary to ensure that UAV does not collide with obstacles and maintain a certain safe distance. At the same time, the obtained path should meet the maneuverability requirements of UAV. According to the definition of elastic rope in [1], we analyze the limitations of the elastic rope algorithm and give the design scheme of the algorithm for UAV path planning. Finally, we design several simulation scenarios to verify the performance of the algorithm. From the simulation results, we can see that the designed algorithm has a good performance in UAV path planning.
