The current work investigates the effect of canard geometric characteristics on the
performance of a lightweight flying wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), capable of both …

The canard configuration is an appealing alternative to the conventional aft tailplane
stabiliser in the design of novel unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) concepts. A canard …

Canard configuration on fighter planes is essential for regulating flow and the occurrence of
vortex interactions on the main wing, one of which is to delay stall. Stall delays are useful …

The study encompasses the design, performance analysis and aerodynamic improvement of
the designed medium range tactical unmanned aerial vehicle. Main requirements are set as …

This paper presents aerodynamic design and characterization of a new quad tilt-wing
unmanned aerial vehicle [Sabancı University unmanned aerial vehicle (SUAVI)] through …

Tilt-duct Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) combine the high-speed efficiency of fixed-wing
aircrafts with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and the hover capabilities of rotary-wing …

In this study, a winglet optimization procedure for a Medium-Altitude-Long-Endurance
(MALE) Unmanned-Aerial-Vehicle (UAV) is presented. The UAV layout, aerodynamic and …

One of the most important factors affecting the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft is lift-
induced drag caused by wingtip vortices. This study describes the winglet design and …

It is known that using Coanda aerosurfaces can drastically augment the lift forces when
applied to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform. However, Coanda saucer UAVs …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to mount Gurney flaps at the trailing edges of the
canards and investigate their influence on aerodynamic characteristics of a simplified …
