Abstract
The missions of small flying wing UAVs require maneuver capabilities as well as optimal flight performance to balance the low operating and manufacturing costs. The basic principles in designing aviation structures must be readjusted due to the innovative concepts regarding the use of advanced materials as well as to the perspectives of using alternative energy aboard UAVs. The current paper is a synthesis of the 2D and 3D aerodynamic analysis of small swept flying wing UAVs that offers a global image of the possibilities of a multidimension optimization (miniaturization-scalability, payload-flexibility, minimum performances requirements).
