Skywalker X8 Flying Wing. UAV design is very much defined by the tasks they are expected to undertake. Even a small (but well designed) UAV such as the Techpod above has many characteristics to suit it for UAV use. Fixed wing UAVs are often used to acquire photographs or video of the ground below so a down facing video port is important. The rear mounted propeller and clear front dome provides unobstructed forward FPV or camera views. The popular and inexpensive Phantom flying wing UAV. The above flying ...
