The aim of this study is to research the aerodynamic improvement of delta wing in low Reynold＇s number region to develop an applicative these air vehicle. As an attractive tool in delta wing, leading edge flap （LEF） is employed to directly modify the strength and structure of vortices originating from the separation point along the leading edge. Various configurations of LEF such as drooping apex flap and upward deflected flap are used in combination to enhance the aerodynamic characteristics in the delta wing. The fluid force measurement by six component toad ceil and particle image velocimetry （PIV） analysis are performed as the experimental method.
