UAV wing plans

Hi guys,

I am planning to build my own UAV for survey, mapping, etc... like a multi function thing.

I have been looking for a nice design and I really like a UAV from Isral which name is Heron, here you have a picture from it

So, I would need some of your help to try to find a nice wing profile / plans for a plane like that one.

I am looking for long, very long flight time, the longest possible so, I was wondering if a profile from a motor sail plane would work, but which one?

Excluding the needed hardware and the plane weight, I would like to lift a max of 2kg payload.

I am open to any suggestion about any of the plane dimensions like lenght, wing span, wing profile, motor, prop size, etc.

I will use an APM probably with 3G telemetry or a nice long range radio... still to test both and check the reliability and connection stability.

Can somebody help me with this project?

Thank you

    It would seem a comment was deleted from here by the OP please don't its against TOS.

    Look at a giant Telemaster

    Building your own high aspect ratio long range platform is mor than just an aerofoil.

  • Indie,

    from your answer I suppose you might be someone really frustrated with life some how, you have maybe needed some help in the past and you weren't able to get it or so.

    Have you realised that this is an experience exchange forum???? Do you really know what the term "exchange" mean??

    If you don't have anything usefull to share so, stay quiet in your deep and dark hole.

    I was only asking for suggestions but, if you are so offended, you have 2 options... 1st - you don't have enough knewledge and you don't answer.... 2nd - you have some good knewledge and you share it if you want to.

    Comments like the one you posted are simply the most sad and ridiculous king of comments that we can read in forums where the goal is to exchange and share knewledge... unfortunatly we can read a lot of them in all the forums on the net... people like are just worst thing we can find.

    BUT, I can still spend a little more of my time with you answering your stupid comment like, for survey and mapping I don't have to void any rule but I can inform you that in my country there are not rules yet for drones, I really hope the local authorities implement them soon. I don't want anyone to tell me in detail what to use or do, fortunatly I've already built some rc acro aiplanes and multicopters but never something with these caracteristics.
    Despite of what I was asking in my post, the title is: "UAV wing plans" which means that the thing I really need help to is on the best suitable wing profile to use for this type of flight, all the other information is not that difficult to find by trying out different solutions.

    I can clearly see that you are not the type of guy that likes to share infos but, my intention is to post in this forum all the step I will take to build my plane, unfortunatly you will have access to it too, unless the admin of this forum ban you which, in my opinion, would be a smart decision.

    Thank you

    Kind regards
