Abstract
The small UAV presents many advantages in size, cost, and portability. Because of this it is often desired to design many UAVs, one for each task, and often in a competitive environment. The designer needs a set of validated conceptual design tools that allow for rapid prediction of flight characteristics. The validation study will be conducted on the Ultra Stick 120 using a comparison of a Vortex Lattice method and Digital DATCOM to wind tunnel data. These computational tools are provided as a part of the CEASIOM software suite.
