Abstract

This study presents an optimized approach for fabricating a solar-powered drone wing using Wing Helper software. Traditional wing fabrication processes require extensive technical expertise and specialized equipment, posing challenges for students, hobbyists, and small research groups. This research aims to simplify UAV wing fabrication by leveraging user-friendly computational tools, thereby enhancing accessibility to aerodynamic design. The study documents the complete wing development process, from conceptual design to final fabrication, with a focus on structural integrity, aerodynamics, and efficiency. The final wing configuration demonstrates the software’s capability in producing precise and reliable UAV wings for solar-powered applications.
