Fixed wing micro air vehicles (wingspan between 10 and 15cm) are aerodynamically
challenging due to the low Reynolds number regime (104–105) they operate in. The low …

The aerodynamic performance of a wing deteriorates considerably as the Reynolds number
decreases from 106 to 104. In particular, flow separation can result in substantial change in …

MICRO air vehicles (MAVs) with a maximal dimension of 15 cm and a flying speed of around
10 m/s are of interest to both military and civilian applications. For example, they can be …

A HALLMARK of many practical micro air vehicle (MAV) designs is a thin, cambered, low-
aspect-ratio wing (typically on the order of 1). This approach maximizes the wing area for a …

Recent developments in micro-technology have been the driving force behind the scientific
interest in micro air vehicles (MAVs), as these became feasible in the recent two decades …

Micro air vehicles (MAVs) with a wingspan of 15 cm or shorter, and flight speed around 10
m∕ s have attracted substantial interest in recent years. There are several prominent …

Abstract Development of an aeroelastic solver with application to flexible membrane wings
for micro air vehicles is presented. A high-order (up to sixth order) Navier–Stokes solver is …

Micro aerial vehicles have been the subject of considerable interest and development over
the last several years. The majority of current vehicle concepts rely on rigid fixed wings or …

MICRO Air Vehicles (MAVs) are advancing our capabilities in the areas of environmental
monitoring and homeland security [1]. Because of their small size and flight regime, the …

MICRO air vehicles (MAVs), which are characterized by small vehicle size (approximately 10
cm) and low flight speeds (approximately 10 m= s), are of great interest to both military and …
