Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are gaining popularity in military operations as surveillance and weapons platforms. The size of military UAVs varies from very large to hand-held and they are so popular that more UAVs are now being produced than conventional aircraft. These military platforms are expensive to buy and to support. This cost factor has so far limited their use in commercial and industrial applications, such as, security, inspection, ensuring obedience to the laws or search and rescue. The conclusion is made that the design what is made is air worthy and easy to handle and CATIA V5 software is used for designing the V tail and analysed by Ansys and XFLR5 softwares.
