The design process of a product is a multi-step process of selection and assessment criteria to create a final product which meets all the needs of the practice. A small UAV combined between flying-wing and quadrotor is a very complex product, so the design process of this small UAV requires a thorough and circumspect review. The problem is how to optimize the design and to carry out the testing of the feasibility of design requirements with the lowest cost and time savings. For that reason, many tools of Multi-Fidelity Analysis for UAV such as XFLR5, XFoil… have been used to give considerable support for this design process. This research focusses mainly on the analysis/design of the configuration of a small UAV flying wing based on the performance at its cruise speed.
