Simulation Study of the Aerodynamic Force Distributions on the UAS-S45 Baalam Wing with an Upswept Blended Winglet

In this paper, the wing on the Unmanned Aerial System UAS-S45 Bàalam from Hydra Technologies is modeled and studied so that its aerodynamics and baseline performance can be better understood. More specifically, the performance of the wing, with and without a detachable upswept blended winglet, is in...
