A reasonable selection of wing airfoil is very important part of aerodynamic design process for micro-UAVs. The selected airfoil predetermines substantially performances of the designed UAV. This reason causes us to pay attention to the problem of UAV wing airfoil selection taking into account properties specific for micro-UAVs. A concept of multitask design is suggested to solve this kind of problems. This concept is explained in regard to selection process for micro-UAV airfoil. Presented simulation results demonstrate that using of multitask approach to aerodynamic design of micro-UAV enables us to enhance UAV efficiency due to improvement of its aerodynamic perfection.
