In this work, we carry out a detailed study of the change in aerodynamic forces due to wing deformation
in flight. The results presented are for a wing model of a fixed semi aspect ratio sAR = 4, and different
chord-based Reynolds numbers in the range of application of UAVs. Our results show that numerical
simulations with turbulence models are able to accurately simulate these aerodynamic forces when
compared to experimental results obtained in the wind tunnel.This research has been supported by the project PID2021-124692OA-I00 from the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, and by ’Ayuda II Plan Propio’ from Universidad de Málaga.
