abstract = {This report presents the preliminary design of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) specifically for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. The UAV features a fixed-wing configuration with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability and hybrid propulsion to facilitate operations in confined spaces and diverse environments. The fuselage integrates detachable wings to facilitate transportation and a high-wing configuration to improve stability. 
Key components of the UAV include a payload bay capable of housing various ISR sensors, such as Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) cameras and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), enhancing mission versatility. The UAV is also equipped with autonomous navigation systems and onboard processing units for real-time data analysis and decision-making. 
The design process includes aerodynamic analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with Ansys Fluent and Aeolus for aerodynamic optimization, as well as validation of the UAV's stability and performance. The UAV's structure has been designed to accommodate the necessary systems while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency. The structural design consists of a monocoque fuselage and the},
