Micro Air Vehicles or MAVs are a class of small (typically less than 9
inch maximum dimension)
Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) that have the potential to be used in both
the military and civilian
environment. They can be used for surveillance, chemical sensing, as
well as monitoring wildlife
populations. The University of Florida has established itself as a
leader in the development,
implementation, and understanding of MAVs. The UF MAV concept
incorporates a unique
flexible wing, which resembles that of a bat in structure. It is
comprised of a carbon fiber
skeleton and a thin latex rubber membrane. The wing is characterized
by delayed stall and
enhanced control through wind gust suppression. Flight tests, wind
tunnel tests and CFD
have been utilized to document the benefits of the flexible wing. In
1997 the International
Micro Air Vehicle Competition was established as a mechanism to
evaluate state-of-the-art.
The University of Florida MAV Team has won this competition the last
five years using the
flexible wing concept. The presentation will include fabrication,
flight testing, wind tunnel
testing, control, computational fluid dynamics as well as video footage
of the UF MAV concepts. |
