The use of an aerial vehicle would greatly enhance the domain of exploration on Mars. The main constraint in such a design would be the extreme Martian environment. The low-density atmosphere suggests the use of a low Reynolds number flight regime modeled after flapping wing insect flight. This flapping wing flight employs several unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms; delayed stall, wake capture, and rotational mechanisms. Two prototypes, a flapping wing and a rotary-flapping wing hybrid, have been built and will be tested in order to quantify the 'overall lift' generated and allow us to evaluate the efficacy of flapping wing flight on Mars.

The article gives a classification of the main components of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, gives the areas in which the application of UAVs is actual in practice today. Further, the UAV is considered in more detail from the point of view of its flight dynamics analysis, the equation necessary for creating a mathematical model, as well as the model of an ordinary dynamic system as a non-stationary nonlinear controlled object, is given. Next, a description of the developed software for modeling and a description of program algorithm are given. Finally, a conclusion describes the necessary directions for further scientific researches.
