Design and Manufacturing of Carbon Fiber Mini Unmanned Tailless Flying Wing
Sep 2009 – Jun 2010
In our project we designed a Flying wing; flying wing means aircraft with one surface only simply it is a tailless aircraft. Theoretically the flying wing is the most efficient aircraft configuration from the point of view of aerodynamics and structural weight. It is argued that the absence of any aircraft components other than the wing should naturally provide these benefits. However, in practice an aircraft's wing must provide for flight stability and control; this imposes additional constraints on the aircraft design problem. Therefore, the expected gains in weight and drag reduction may be partially or wholly negated due to design compromises needed to provide stability and control. Alternatively, and more commonly, a flying wing type may suffer from stability and control problems.
