Abstract

An investigation of aerodynamic performance for micro air vehicle (MAV) wing is performed. It is shown, what is a reason of significant wing performance difference between tests, which were carried out in different wind tunnels. New method for estimation of wind tunnel condition influence on experimental results is suggested.
