This paper analyses the feasibility of designing an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle using the flight properties of a flying disc by simulating the gyroscopic precession of a flying disc in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). By capturing the precession in CFD, one can better understand the stability and con...
