Abstract

This paper proposes a different innovative design of airfoils used in drones. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model is built to model and simulate velocity and pressure profiles of the airfoil. Simulation is carried out by COMSOL Multiphysics. Airfoil design no. A is simulated at different normal inflow velocity. Resulted lift and drag forces are 12.04 N and 2.27 N at a normal inflow velocity of 7 m/s. For the simulation of different airfoil design thickness, airfoil no. B achieved a total lift force of 22.83 N and a total drag force of 1.29 N.
