Investigation of the effect of wing geometry on the aerodynamic quality of an unmanned aerial vehicle using digital models and additive technologies

The aerodynamic characteristics of the wing models of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are being studied. The aim of the work is to identify the dependence of the aerodynamic characteristics of an aircraft-type UAV wing model on its shape and angle of attack and to select the wing shape with the best aerodynamic quality. The object of the study is wing aerodynamics. The subject of the study is the aerodynamic characteristics and shape of the wing model. Research methods: wind tunnel experiments and parameter measurement, data analysis. Calculations of the main aerodynamic characteristics are given and their dependence on the angle of attack and the shape of the wing is revealed. Based on the results obtained, it is shown that the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing model depend on its shape and the wing model with the best aerodynamic characteristics is selected.
