Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The configuration concept of Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) being studied recently in USA, has been analyzed and a fixed-wing type flying wing configuration, having maximum dimension less than 15cm, has been designed. The successful flight of a small engine version of MAV based on the final configuration showed the possibility of domestic development of fixed wing type MAV. The DATCOM method was used to predict aerodynamic characteristics of each configuration, though it is not proper approach and a better analysis method should be developed.
