Modern aviation world is full of different developments and designs. Last years Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have been developed very intensively. The research design bureau УBuranФ which is aimed to develop the UAV was established at the National Aviation University in 2004. The УBuranФ design bureau is to investigate the possibilities of UAV application in the national economy. These vehicles can be widely used for monitoring of different processes, in mapping, aerial works, agriculture, mobile communication and the like.

The experience gained by Ukrainian researchers and designers has been widely used in developments of this bureau. At presents more that 30 design projects of UAV are being created in the bureau.

These UAV have different aerodynamics configurations and characteristics with specialized navigation and automatic control systems.

The bureau has got experimental and production as well as software packages which can be applied for hydrodynamic peculiarities taking into account compressibility and viscosity of the environment. This allows to deferment UAV aerodynamic characteristics in wide range of subsonic flight speeds.

Theoretical results are tested in Aerodynamic Complex of the University (addition information http://ndch.nau.edu.ua/wt).

A RC-operators school has been organized at the design bureau there students of the University and school children can be trained.
