Abstract
Micro air vehicles are tiny flying objects, which have potential applications in multiple fields. Though13; Propulsion and Control related issues are the critical areas for MAV, structural configuration poses equally a13; challenging task for the development of strategic MAVx2019;s. As weight becomes stringent design parameter, highly13; flexible but very light weight materials are used in some of the flying MAVx2019;s. However, we have made an13; attempt to use composite materials, along with low density materials like balsa to build NAL-MAV, named13; Black Kite. Even though, stresses, or frequencies coupling with aerodynamics are not being considered13; seriously, aeroelastic stability such as gust needs attention naturally, while attitude of MAV is addressed.13; Therefore, proper structural analysis is essential, in order to optimize the weight by retaining the aerodynamic13; configuration.
