Abstract :
Telescopic wing is the mechanism aimed to increase lift-to-drag ratio of aircraft or UAV by increasing wing aspect ratio. In previous study theoretical mathematical models of the aerodynamic performance of the telescopic wing UAV for low Reynolds number were developed. The present study investigates these characteristics experimentally.
