“Design and Fabrication of Micro Air Vehicle (Mav) with Double-Bubble Fuselage”

International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE), 2019
A micro air vehicle (MAV) is a class of aircraft that has size restriction. The purpose of this project is to design a MAV, the airplane designed will be an RC (Radio Controlled) which can carry highest payload fraction possible with lowest empty weight, based on the guidelines of flight mechanics, aircraft structures, aerodynamics and control systems.

Trajectory Optimisation for UAV Data Collection in IoT‐Based WSN: A Lévy Flight‐Based Approach

IET Smart Cities, Volume 8, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
In large‐scale IoT and WSN deployments, data transmission to base stations is often limited by restricted network coverage, and drones can help extend connectivity by collecting data from cluster head nodes. This work proposes an energy‐efficient drone‐assisted data collection approach that jointly optimises system costs and energy consumption, taking ...

Recent evolution of low reynolds number flyers: Paving way for Micro Air Vehicles (MAV)

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019
For a number of manmade and natural flyers the aerodynamics of low Reynolds number plays a crucial role. Active study of birds and insects is growing rapidly for development of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). MAVs are capable of performing tasks like surveillance, environmental monitoring and threat assessment in hostile environment.

Obstacle‐Aware Navigation for MAVs Using Constant Flow Divergence Control and Texton‐Based Visual Cues

Journal of Robotics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Tiny flying insects rely heavily on optical flow for landings and navigation. By maintaining a constant optical flow divergence, they can approach targets or obstacles with an exponential decay of both relative distance and velocity. Previous studies have shown that Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) leverage this control strategy for efficient landings and ...
