The effects of unsteady aerodynamics for a tandem-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) prototype during the morphing stage have been investigated numerically at low Reynolds numbers (Re<10^6). The morphing stage consists of two stages. The first stage involves the unfolding of the canards and wings...
