Aerodynamic Optimization and Analysis of Low Reynolds Number Propeller with Gurney Flap for Ultra-High-Altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Ultra-high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles have created a high demand for the performance of propellers under low Reynolds numbers, while the efficiency of such propellers by the existing design framework has reached a bottleneck. This paper explores the possibility of extending the Gurney flap on...
