Abstract
A small unmanned airplane includes; a main wing having a camber airfoil whose under surface is approximately flat, narrowing in the shape of taper to a blade tip, leading edge of which holds sweepback angle, of flying wing type which has an aerodynamic surface of tailless wing type and is low aspect ratio; movable flaps extending approximately extreme breadth in trailing edge part of both left and right sides of the main wing, having a dihedral angle at least in level flight; vertical stabilizers placed at blade tips of left and right of the main wing; and two propellers installed on the top surface of the main wing. This can materialize miniaturization and weight saving of a small unmanned airplane for individual carrying capability and for suitability for such as lift-off by hand throw.
