This paper describes the procedure of development of a coaxial rotorcraft micro air vehicle for indoor surveillance and reconnaissance mission. The survey to provide a guide for preliminary design were conducted based on commercial off-the-shelf platform, and the rotor performance was estimated by the simple momentum theory. The modified fuel balance method which is adoptable for electric powered vehicle was applied to determine the initial size of the micro air vehicle, and it was optimized with sequential quadratic method. The developed vehicle shows stable handling quality with manual flight test in indoor situation.
