Design & Analyze a Flying Wing UAV on a PC

MSA-3DFoil is used for the aerodynamics conceptual/preliminary design and subsequent analysis of a flying wing (UAV). More information about 3DFoil is found at: www.hanleyinnovations.com/3dfo...
The following steps are used to design and analyze the wing in 3DFoil:
1. Input the dimensions and sweep half of the wing (half span)
2. Input the dimensions and sweep of the winglet.
3. Join the winglet and main wing.
4. Generate the full aircraft using the mirror image insert function.
5. Find the lift drag and moments
6. Compute longitudinal and lateral stability
7. Look at the contributions of the surfaces.
8. Verify that the winglets provide drag reduction.

Many thanks, Patrick

My 2 meters flying with swept angle 22 degrees, is my swept angle too small? Never fly before still building the remote control.

could we get the analysis of the aeroelasticity on the wing

Hello, thanks for sharing your video.
Can you help:
I make a fly wing to work in aerial video to agriculture purpose.
What in your opinion is the best airfoil, have a payload of 2kg, wing lenght 1300mm
I need a airfoil very stable.
thanks

Hi Paulo, thanks for your message. Airfoils by Selig or Eppler are good for flying wings. See the following page: m-selig.ae.illinois.edu/flyingWingAfs/ for a few suggestions. 3DFoil is great to determine an optimum airfoil choice based on your aircraft's wing size, endurance, range and weight specifications.

Hello Patrick,
I watched your video and it's very useful. I'm working in a project about the design of an UAV for observation of marine fauna. Could you gime your opinion? The wing span is 2,06m AR:11,8 root chord 200mm tip chord 100mm total weight 1,8kg. T tail.

Hi Bryan, your application is very interesting. You design is for high endurance/range. I think that 3DFoil can be used to help with airfoil selection, tip stall and stability. Let me know if you have any other questions - Patrick
