Design Optimization of a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) Fixed Wing
Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology, 2015 Micro air vehicles are gaining attention due to their wide range of applications in civilian and defense fields. The wings of these vehicles generate a particular flow regime which is to be explored further. Since the theories on the aerodynamics of all affects are still to be investigated, simulation based computational fluid dynamics is a good ...
