Keywords: deployable wing, uav, drop test, balloon, dynamic behavior

Aerial deployment technique is required for next-generation airplanes. Dynamic behavior of an airplane during a deployment motion is one of the big problems. In order to evaluate this, a drop test via a balloon was performed for a UAV which has a foldable wing. Flight data and animation were analyzed.
