Embedded Files
Through this program, students will learn different aspects of unmanned air systems, including novel classification of flying drones from unmanned air vehicles until smart dust, with their new defined applications. They will also become familiar with the design challenges of space and marine drones, existing methods for increasing the drones’ endurance, and various control, guidance, navigation, and manufacturing techniques. Students will participate in the design, CAD modeling, aerodynamic analysis, simulation in XFLR5 software and manufacturing of a small fixed-wing micro air vehicle. During this program, students will be able to get connected remotely to the NMT drone cage-flight simulator and fly a drone. The cage is equipped with different types of vive-trackers, tracking and visual cameras, wind generators, obstacles, drones, remote controllers, work-stations, etc. Moreover, for flight training purposes, a virtual reality setup and flight simulators will be used.

XFLR5
XFLR5 is an analysis tool for airfoils, wings and planes operating at low Reynolds Numbers. It includes: (1) XFoil's Direct and Inverse analysis capabilities, AND (2) Wing design and analysis capabilities based on the Lifiting Line Theory, on the Vortex Lattice Method, and on a 3D Panel Method.

FlapSim & WakeSim
FlapSim is open-source software that can be used to simulate flapping-wing flight dynamics of birds, insects, and other animals that fly. This software employs a coupled blade-element momentum theory model to calculate the aerodynamic forces needed for weight support, propulsion and power.
