Product Description
Recently, there has been a serious effort to design aircraft that are as small as possible for special, limited-duration missions. These vehicles may carry visual, acoustic, chemical, or biological sensors for such missions as traffic management, hostage situation surveillance, rescue operations, etc. The goal is to develop aircraft systems that weigh less than 90 grams, with a 15-centimetre wingspan. Since it is not possible to meet all of the design requirements of a micro air vehicle with current technology, research is proceeding. This new book reports on the latest research in the area of aerodynamic efficiency of various fixed-wing, flapping wing, and rotary wing concepts. It presents the progress made by over 50 active researchers in the field from Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United States. It is the only book of its kind.

Helpful for MAV Design February 16, 2003
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I found this book extremely helpful for information while recently working on my senior design project at the Rochester Institute of Technology. As of winter 2002/2003 there is very little liable information on micro air vehicle aerodynamics available free through technical papers and other readings that I could find. After looking for information for nearly a month I purchased this book and had several of my questions on MAV design and applications answered. This book is primarily a collection of AIAA and university MAV technical papers. I would recommend this book to any college student or professor working on a MAV related project.
