Abstract: The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) having no pilots have proven their values in many areas. In this  research we  have made  an attempt  design and  analyze  an  indigenous   UAV  with  good  stability  knowing  the  mass of the entire  system. stability  analysis  of  the  UAV  has  been  carried  out  at  different  conditions  and  the  values  are   noted. The paper  will also  discuss  the step  by  step  procedure  of  design  and  analysis  of  the  complete  UAV. The  design  of the vehicle has been done  in  catia V5 and  the  stability analysis  has  been  carried  out  in  XFLR  software. The  software  structure  of  the  UAV  has  been  designed  in  such  a manner  to give  good  lift even at very low speed. this  UAV  has got  the special  ability  to operate even  at  low  Reynolds number. The results  of  this  analysis  could  be  utilized   to  further  improve the aerodynamics of  the  existing  design and  enhance  the stability and  performance  characteristics  of the  UAV.
