Pushing the Boundaries of Miniature Aviation
We used XFLR5 to analyse airfoil aerodynamics and predict lift, drag, and stability. The conceptual design was then drafted in SolidWorks. We used ANSYS Workbench for Finite Element Analysis to identify critical stress points allowing us to iterate our design for maximum strength and minimum weight. With the optimized geometry finalized, the digital files moved to CorelDRAW translating our 3D CAD models into optimized 2D cutting patterns which Resulted in clean cuts via laser. Laser cutting delivered unmatched precision for the interlocking ribs, ensuring reliable assembly.
Trailing edge tapered wing form with a wingspan of just 1 meter. This streamlined design minimizes weight while maximizing aerodynamic efficiency for superior lift-to-drag ratio.
Strategically designed three-walled structure combining lightweight materials with exceptional durability, engineered to withstand landing impacts and aerodynamic forces.
Through rigorous iterative testing and analysis, we aim to reduce empty weight significantly while maintaining structural integrity for reliable performance.
