Design and Analysis of Micro Air Vehichle with Zimmerman Planform

Abstract

A Micro air vehicle of span 0.15 meter as basic prerequisite is designed with Zimmerman wing such that the structure is small enough, promised with high structural integrity and to serve its function for optical surveillance with all different electronic components used in the successful MAVs. Zimmerman wing which has a distinct characteristic of low aspect ratio and low Reynolds number is designed by considering several conceptual design stages. The weight estimation was done including specified electronic components. Lift and Drag forces are evaluated for different AOA and at different velocities through computational analysis for this design. The final design results show that the design can fly at certain operating conditions.
