air vehicles are gaining attention due to their wide range of applications in civilian and defense fields. The wings of these vehicles generate a particular flow regime which is to be explored further. Since the theories on the aerodynamics of all affects are still to be investigated, simulation based computational fluid dynamics is a good approach rather than wind tunnel experiments which involves cost and long periods of experimentation. This study mainly emphasize on the lift, lift coefficient, drag and drag coefficient with respect to Reynold’s number and angle of attack, by modelling and analyzing the fixed wing of a micro air vehicle. The analysis has been done selecting NACA25411 air foil. Modelling has been done in Gambit and analysis is taken up using Fluent. Angle of attack and Reynold’s number have been optimized to increase the lift and decrease the drag.
Key words: Angle of attack, drag, lift, micro air vehicle, Reynolds number, ,
