Unmanned aerial vehicles known as UAVs were created for military purposes in the aeronautical field, with great advances in the area of UAV design in recent years. This document presents the different parameters that should be considered in the wing design of a Mini unmanned aerial vehicle under the regulations of FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency).
The objective of the present study was to propose the conceptual design of an experimental test bench for the behavior simulation of a MUAV wing’s structure of a MUAV (Miniature Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The design was done using different software, such as: SolidWorks, in the wing design part; XFLR5, for aerodynamic simulations, and ANSYS-Workbench for the structural analysis of the wing. All this was developed to obtain the most critical aerodynamic (lift) loads distributed on the wings’ surface during flight.
