| dc.description.sponsorship | The goal of this research is to optimize the primary wing of a MALE UAV using low subsonic aerodynamic theories and CFD analysis. Lang Merah UAV is the current UAV operated by USM. This thesis intends to produce a performance boost of at least 10% over the Lang Merah wing by incorporating an improved wing. Because of the recent increase in demand for MALE UAVs in the aerospace industry, optimizing the performance of these platforms is critical. Computer-aided design (CAD) software SOLIDWORKS CAD 2021 Edition and ANSYS WORKBENCH are used to conduct the simulation analysis. Validation of the simulation result is essential in order to compare the results. The simulation findings were validated using NACA 4412 data. This project simulation's setup is based on the Baylor University experimental setup. The configuration employed by Baylor University to obtain the experimental result of the NACA 4412 has a Reynolds number of 150 000, a wingspan of 24 inches, and a chord length of 6 inches. A grid independent test (GIT) is performed in order to lower the simulation's computational cost and run duration. The results show that improving performance achieves the required wing aerodynamic optimization. The simulation findings reveal a 9% increase in L/D for a 3D wing at a gliding angle of 2 degrees and a 10.8% rise in CL3/2/CD for the 3D wing at the same angle.
