Numerical analysis of a biomimetic UAV with variable length grids wingtips

Birds can reduce the induced drag using an elongation of the wings called primary feathers. In this paper, a numerical analysis of a biomimetic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that imitates that elongation at its wing tips is presented. Specifically, the UAV has a rectangular wing and three grids at t...
