Lightweight structure designs using topology optimization attract attention in the aviation industry due to their mass properties. When the studies on this subject are examined, it is seen that the aim is to reduce the structure mass without changing the strength properties. Topology optimization methods are used to reduce the structure mass in the design of rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles, which are one of the types of aircraft and are increasingly used in the aviation industry due to their unique flight characteristics. Thanks to the application of these methods, the strength-to-weight ratio and efficiency of rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicles increase. In this study, studies in the literature on topology optimization of rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicles were investigated and the results obtained were presented. As a result of the research, it was determined that topology optimization methods affected the structure weight, structure stress and displacement value in the structure exposed to force in aerial vehicle design. In studies in the literature, it has been observed that two different strategies are used by researchers: optimization techniques that include a unit cell structure and optimization techniques that do not include a unit cell structure.
