Performance analysis of aerofoil for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Abstract

The growing interest in development of UAV has created a need for the comparative analysis of performance parameters of different aerofoils. Using this concept different characteristics of aerofoils are explored to design the wing of various UAV fulfilling various purposes. In this research work, the requirements of our desired UAV are established. These requirements are translated into performance parameters. Then the aerofoil that best meet the requirements was optimized from different arbitrary aerofoils through experimental investigation of the performance parameters.
