    International audienceIn this paper, we consider a (rough) kinematic model for a UAV flying at constant altitude moving forward with positive lower and upper bounded linear velocities and positive minimum turning radius. For this model, we consider the problem of minimizing the time travelled by the UAV starting from a general configuration to connect a specified target being a fixed circle of minimum turning radius. The time-optimal synthesis, presented as a partition of the state space, defines a unique optimal path such that the target can be reached optimally
