Computational Study of Aerodynamic Effects of the Dihedral and Angle of Attack of Biomimetic Grids Installed on a Mini UAV

In this paper, a numerical analysis of a biomimetic unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is presented. Its wings feature three grids at the tip similar to the primary feathers of birds in order to modify the lift distribution over the wing and help in reducing the induced drag. Numerical analysis using com...
