Micro Air Vehicle | Now 14 Application Purpose

micro air vehicle

The micro air vehicle (MAV), also called micro-aerial vehicle, is a micro-drone of small size with low altitude.

Basically these micro air vehicles give informantion of risky eniorment and area where some one cannot reach easily.

According to DAPRA (Defense Advance Research Project Agency) micro air vehicle is less than 6 inch (15cm) and 4 ounce weight.

Micro Air Vehicle Working

1. Straight Air toward wing

  1. Air travels toward the wing straight and bends it around.After this, the wing remains straight.
  2. As a result, no net action in the air and no lift.

2. Air Passing over wing

  • For lift, wing send air down
  • Air passes over the wing and is bent down.
  • wing change air for lift
  • As a result, the momentum of air forces the wing

Micro Air Vehicle Applications

The bird-sized MAV would be air-deployed from a larger UAV so search for weapons of mass destruction, operating semi-autonomously for up to a week.
