Keywords: Structure weight, Overall parameter, High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

The structure weight estimating equations are obtained by means of sophisticated regression analysis.We also analyze sensitivity of every overall parameter which has influence on each component of the structure weight and establish the mathematical formulas which can reflect the sensitivity.
