The goal of this project is to develop a Nano Air Vehicle (NAV) with a wing span of 7.5 cm. The computational fluid dynamics study is focused on the aerodynamic efficiency of the wings. The primary focus of the computational study is on the aerodynamic performance of the wings in order to obtain a near optimal kinematics of the wing while the NAV is in a hover mode. The secondary effort was of a more fundamental nature, in order to understand the differences between a rotating helicopter blade and a similarly designed wing undergoing a flapping motion.
