Abstract

Key problems in view of the urgent long-endurance uav, the research of the application of bionics to no one wing design. With the wings of a certain unmanned aerial vehicle as the research object, is good at gliding gull for bionic prototype. Design imitation airfoil seagull flat wings and wing tip winglet two kinds of bionic wing. For bionic wings with conventional using CFD simulation method is used to numerically simulate the wing, the study found that uavs using bionic wings can effectively improve the flow field distribution of the wing, decrease on the wing surface flow separation, and reduce the aerodynamic drag coefficient, thus improve the wing lift-to-drag ratio. The results show that two kinds of bionic wings than standard average lift-to-drag ratio increased by 16.5% and 17.6%, respectively. In this paper the simulation results provide certain reference for the design of the uav wing.
