Experimental investigation of free wing IIUM-UAV configuration

In this work, the IIUM first free wing unmanned aerial vehicle model (IIUM-FWUAV) was investigated experimentally. The experimental work was carried out using IIUM low speed closed circuit wind tunnel. The aerodynamic performance of free wing concept was predicated. The effects of angle of attack an...
