Keywords: MAV, delta wing, aerodynamic testing

Paper presents results of the research on the propeller / leading edge extensions interference. They may be useful in the fixed wing MAV design since large angle of attack capability may be desirable due to atmosphere turbulence. Results show potential advantages of the configuration tested in the experiment.
