Abstract

A flying machine either uses a flapping mechanism, a fixed wing or a rotating blade in order to produce lift. While considering fixed wing aircraft or a drone, in order to produce a lift or a decent, the major contributing part is the aileron. An aileron area with respect to the wing is nearly 15%. Rather a discreet movement of aileron, the wing surface can be morphed in order to produce an effect similar to aileron. This research is done to compare and analyze a morphed wing with an aileron-based wing in order to produce the lift and identify maneuvering effects for a drone. Continuous lift force distribution throughout the wing is observed over a range of different wind speeds, and the results are found to be satisfactory.
