The review aims to analyze the complexities involved in UAV wing design, focusing on aerodynamic and structural requirements.
Analyzed 39 studies from the last 15 years
Utilized Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Critically evaluated design-to-production cycle gaps
Identified modeling deficiencies in current literature
NACA 4412 airfoil is effective in low Reynolds number regimes to resist LSB
Rigid wing assumption leads to a lift overestimation error of approximately 7%
Topology-optimized structures via additive manufacturing show 50% reduction in structural strength
Traditional sequential design is insufficient; an integrated design approach is necessary
