One of the important steps in the sizing process of fixed and flapping wing micro air vehicles
(MAVs) is weight estimation of the electrical and structural components. In order to enhance …

MALL UAV's, also known as Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) have recently shown much promise
in support of small combat units. Their small, man-packable size enables individual units to …

Quasi-static and dynamic stall control experiments, using dielectric barrier discharge plasma
actuators, were performed on a square-tipped aspect-ratio-one wing, with a NACA 0015 …

Abstract Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are useful devices to assess new features that may be
utilized in a full size aircraft to enhance performance or to increase endurance. In this article …

The effect of the aspect ratio on the aerodynamic characteristics of rectangular wings is
experimentally investigated at Reynolds numbers on the order of 10 4. The aerodynamic …

The high-angle-of-attack uncommanded roll oscillations are dangerous and cause
significant challenges in flight control. This paper focuses on investigating the feasibility and …

In this paper, the aerodynamic design of the ATLAS IV, remote controlled aircraft, is
summarized. A wing aerodynamic design methodology was established for a high lift-high …

This book combines eight years of research in Aerial-Aquatic robotics and reflects upon the
progress made in this new domain from its beginnings at the Aerial Robotics Lab of Imperial …

A continuous adjoint formulation is used to determine optimal airfoil shapes in unsteady
viscous flows at Re= 1× 104. The Reynolds number is based on the free-stream speed and …

The history of micro air vehicles really began with the development of model airplanes in the
19th century and the development of radio controlled model airplanes in the 20th century …
