Abstract

States that at present wind tunnels are the most commonly used methods for obtaining data on aerofoils and investigating boundary layer phenomena in order to improve laminar flows. Looks at an alternative to wind tunnels – an unmanned aerial vehicle developed by the University of Glasgow – the GUAV‐1. Discusses the work undertaken by the GUAV‐1 as well as its intended uses and aspirations.
