Hey guys, I need your help... I have to write a seminar for my college about "Aerodynamics of Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and mickro air vehicles (MAV)" but I don't have any sources to read from and I can't find nothing specific on the internet. So if you could post me some links or anything that I could use to write something abou it I would be grateful....
Tnx in advance

Well, for starters all heavier than air flying machines operate to the same rules regardless of size or if there is a pilot on board. So any information you find about full size manned aerodynamics and model aerodynamics will apply equally to UAV's and MAV's. And it's Micro Aerial Vehicles for the spelling.
Points to look into more heavily would be the need to go to progressively lighter wing loadings as the size is reduced. This is related to the reynolds number effect. This will apply strongly to your MAV aspect. Especially if you want to keep the flying speed down to a lower values to allow tighter maneuvering.
That should provide enough of a hint to get you going. Just search for regular aerodynamics information.
The UAV and MAV specific points are not the aerodynamics but instead the onboard guidance systems. But that's a whole other topic that isn't pertinent to this forum.
