Applications of the Flexible Wing Concept at Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have seen a rapid development due to increased miniaturisation of technology, and their multiple usages in both military and civilian fields, thus making this business very profitable. Although the small UAVs are high enabling capabilities, they are still single-role (one flight, one mission). The present paper will present a comparative analysis of the solutions on flexible wing concept and will analyze the possibilities to use the morphing concept at small UAVs.
