WING ANALYSIS OF A FLAPPING WING UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE USING CFD

Abstract

:Traditional micro air vehicles (MAVs) are miniature version of full scale air craft from which their design
principles closely follow. Non-traditional (UAVs) resemble to the design of birds or insects. A flapping wing model
having interaction of aerodynamics and inertial loading which can cause deformation of the wings is designed. This
work emphasis on analysis of the using of a flapping wing type of UAV. Wings with different shapes will be analysed and
its behaviour will be studied in different air borne conditions. ANSYS CFX solver is used for the analysis purpose.
