An optimized and comprehensive method is used to design and manufacture a fixed wing
micro air vehicle (MAV) with Zimmerman planform. The design process includes four stages …

This study attempts to present a new and comprehensive cycle for the design of fixed wing
micro air vehicles. The idea is to propose a complete cycle containing all micro air vehicles …

In this paper, the design process of a fixed-wing Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) is presented. The
design cycle begins with mission requirements, followed by collecting statistical data from …

In this study, a novel simple strategy is proposed to choose and accommodate an airfoil
based on the effects of airfoil type and plan-form shape on the flight performance of a micro …

Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are a new type of aircraft maturing every year. The first mission-
capable MAVs are already available on the market. Similarly to larger UAVs, MAVs may be …

The conceptual design and optimization of a tilt-rotor Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) for a well-
defined mission are performed. The objective of this design cycle is to decrease the design …

It is useful to combine hover and forward flight capability of air vehicles into a hybrid design.
This paper discusses the development of one such hybrid air vehicle: Quadrotor biplane …

ABSTRACT Micro Air Vehicles have been the subject of continued interest and development
over the last several years. The majority of current vehicle concepts rely on rigid fixed wings …

Micro air vehicles (MAV) are essentially characterized by very stringent dimensional
constraints (typically 6–8 in or 15–20 cm) which the need suggests to maximize the wing …

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 …
