Wings play a vital role in the design of micro aerial vehicles (MAV), in view of aerodynamic performance, maneuverability and hovering capabilities of the vehicles. The wings are generally classified as flapping, delta, swept, and so on. In this paper, the literature is reviewed regarding the diverse techniques utilized for the design, experimentation, analysis, simulation, and modeling of different types of wings. Among these types, this paper focuses on the design of delta wings. Accordingly, we review 60 relevant research papers and provide an analysis, based on their content. First, the paper presents the chronological review of the contributions relevant for the design of different types of wings. Subsequently, we focus on various materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, etc., and on parameters such as Reynolds number, angle of attack, aspect ratio, etc., which are utilized for the design of wings. The paper also provides a detailed performance study regarding the contribution to the design of delta wing. Finally, we present various research issues, which can be useful for the researchers in accomplishing further research on the design of delta wings.
