Abstract:The long-endurance UAV is a new unmanned aerial vehicle. In battlefield reconnaissance and high-altitude at.mospheric sounding and so on has its special uses. According to the characteristics of UAV, double tail brace conventionalconfiguration was constructed. Through modeling, meshing, numerical calculation and matlab software simulation, vortexlattice method was applied to analyze the UAV lift-drag characteristics, longitudinal static stability, lateral and directionalstatic stability. The calculation results fulfilled design objectives and which could provide theoretical basis for long-endur.ance UAV conceptual and preliminary design.
