Abstract

The article presents the mathematical modeling of a Fixed-Wing Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) which is the Delta-Wing. To obtain the model, Newton Euler formulas are used for both lateral and longitudinal axes. The characteristics of the aircraft from aerodynamic coefficients, inertias and operating regions are obtained by the simulations on XFLR5 software in a way that matches the prototype. There is huge interest among researchers in this type of UAVs for its advantage of more lift and less drag. Thus, a Full functional Delta-Wing UAV is designed for the purpose of experimentation and implementing new control strategies in the future. The design fabrication takes into consideration winglet effect in aerodynamic properties especially roll and yaw stability.
