Abstract
This paper presents conceptual design of an UAV that using “Wau Bulan” shape as its planform. Wau Bulan is a one type of Malaysia’s kite. Wau bulan kite has wing and tail part. Wau Bulan wing is a lens shape wing with aspect ratio 3.48. Tail part shape likes crescent moon. Tail part area is 46.23% of wing area. Wau Bulan UAV was designed to perform surveillance mission. Initial weight sizing and performance sizing was done to assure the reasonable value of aerodynamics and propulsion parameter. Joined wing and blended wing body technology concepts were used to aim the requirement parameters that defined during initial sizing process. The aerodynamics characteristic was analyzed using experimental method. Experimental results show that wau bulan planform aerodynamics characteristics fulfill designed parameter that chosen during initial sizing.
