This work is a part of an exploratory project aimed at comparing the performance characteristics of typical birds with similar-sized fixed-wing Micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle to gain some insights. In this paper, the power performance curve of a pigeon is compared with that of a pigeon-inspired fixed-wing Micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. By taking inspiration from a typical pigeon, parameters like weight, wingspan, planform area, aspect ratio, airplane length, and height were selected and a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle was designed. The fixed-wing designs and their flights are modelled using Plane-maker software in X-Plane 12, and the range with a restricted power supply is obtained as an average of several simulated runs. It is assumed that the power source is a battery of a fixed capacity. Various related designs were found by modifying various wing parameters. Biological performance data for the pigeon is compared to that of the design. After the simulation, it is observed that the corresponding power required for minimum drag speed in the fixed-wing model is around one-third of the power required by a pigeon. Increasing wingspan leads to reduced minimum drag speed but increases minimum required power, while decreasing wingspan results in an increase in minimum power speed. Varying the aspect ratio of the wing while maintaining the wing planform area constant shows that increasing the aspect ratio decreases the minimum power required and the maximum range air speed. This study could find potential uses in the defense sector and homeland security.
