Abstract
In this paper, the performance of a small fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle is predicted theoretically with the minimum specifications and a low Reynolds number. Based on the results, it was compared with the results of an actual flight test and simple electric motor wind tunnel test. As a result of the validity of the analysis, a 3.5 kilograms class fixed wing small UAV can predict aerodynamic performance by general theory analysis. However, the required thrust was analyzed as a possible design error. Based on the results of this study, this paper proposed a method to minimize the design error when developing small fixed wing UAV flying in a low Reynolds number.
