Aerodynamic optimization of a VTOL drone using winglets

In this work, an aerodynamic optimization of a VTOL drone wing has been carried out by implementing winglets. A dual methodology has been used employing a CFD study with the open source code OpenFOAM and applying the Vortex Lattice Method with the open source tool XFLR5 for different configurations...
