Abstract: Wings with large aspect ratio have large bending moment and torque, so the poor flexural and torsional stiffness are noteworthy. The application of composite materials in wing structure can improve the performance of wing. In the design process of the wing with high aspect ratio, the design parameters of the wing are preliminarily set. Then, the wing configuration is determined according to the force characteristics referring to the indexes of the Predator unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and on the basis of the composite material mechanics and finite element theory, the finite element model of the wing is designed as well. Next, we carry out the aerodynamic analysis in FLUENT. At last, we use ANSYS Composite Pre/Post (ACP) module to establish the static analysis of the wing, and two improvement schemes are proposed to deal with the problem that the wing with high aspect ratio would encounter.
