In this paper, a study of aerodynamic characteristics of UiTM's Blended-Wing-Body Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (BWB-UAV) Baseline-II in terms of side force, drag force and yawing moment coefficients are presented through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. A vertical rudder is added to the aircraft at the rear centre part of the fuselage as yawing control surface. The study consists of varying the side slip angles for various rudder deflection angles and to plot the results for each aerodynamic parameter. The comparison with other yawing control surface for the same aircraft obtained previously are also presented. For validation purpose, the lift and drag coefficients are compared with the results obtained from wind tunnel experiments.

Based on the geometric dimensions of the CLARK-Y wing profile used in the design of various aircraft models, the calculations of its main aerodynamic characteristics were carried out. Taking into account the developed method of protecting the wing of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from icing, changes were made to the profile structure taking into account the installation features of the anti-icing system (AIS) elements. Both profiles are digitally entered into the XFLR5 program, where the aerodynamic quality of the wing was calculated before installing the AIS elements and with the elements installed. Wing polarities were obtained, on the basis of which conclusions were drawn about the possibility of using the developed AIS.
