Design and Analysis of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

2016

UAV is a most rapidly growing sector today with its application ranging from Defense, Surveillance to personal hobbies. A UAV is a radio-controlled Aircraft which will have flying range of 500 meters‘ radius. It can be equipped with a camera which will be useful for surveillance purpose. The UAV can also be used in rescue mission to provide food, medicines and other utility products in areas affected by natural calamities, where it is out of human reach. The UAV‘s are also used by Army and Air force for short missions (e.g. dropping a bomb) in enemy dormitories. The advantage of the same is safety as no human is involved and because of its low cost. Our UAV will be controlled using a radio frequency of 2.4 GHz. The control surfaces will be controlled through servo motors and the engine will be a brushless DC motor connected with an electric speed control and the power source will be Lithium Polymer battery. The key components that will be designed are the Wings, Control Surfaces and...

Conceptual design, Structural and Flow analysis of an UAV wing

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are considered as the largest integration of modern technology which have enormous potential for both military special operations & civil applications. UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty, and dangerous". Its efficiency & success depends on factors such as performance, maintenance costs, design etc. This Paper aims to optimize the design of the wing of a medium size surveillance type UAV, by carrying out both analytical and computational analysis of aerodynamic and structural loads & also to study various materials and techniques for the fabrication of the designed wing. During the study, an attempt was made to familiarize with the theoretical aerodynamics, aircraft structural design methodologies and historical trends in wing design. The preliminary design dimensions as well as relevant loads of the wing structure were calculated based on the design lift and loading requirement for the UAV. The wing design was further analyzed by creating a software model of the UAV wing and simulating the flow and the structural loads using Solid Works and Design Foil software packages. The study attempts to record the steps followed, the calculations done, the theories applied and the references used during the project in a gradual progression to aid any future developmental work or study on wing design. The simplified analytical development of the conceptual design of a UAV wing can be used as a design reference for other types of aircrafts in some generic point of view.

DESIGNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE

2002

With the advancement in science and technology, the aviation industry is increasingly concentrating on the development of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPVs), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs). The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) are being used for many years for a variety of different tasks like reconnaissance, bomb damage assessment (BDA), scientific research, escort EW, decoying guiding SAMs and AAMs, and target practice. These UAVs will replace the conventional aircraft in several roles and even perform novel assignments. The hostile battlefield environments and difficult access areas can be monitored without endangering human life. This paper elaborate the designing of UAV that can be used as interceptor and can perform reconnaissance/survillance missions as well.

Design Development and Fabrication of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

International Journal For Research In Applied Science & Engineering Technology, 2020

UAV or an unmanned aerial vehicle is a remote-controlled aircraft. It can be operated remotely in real-time or pre-programmed to fly autonomously on the pre-defined routes. These aircraft help police, fire and other first responders save lives in the event of natural disasters, locate missing children and help fight wildfires. They assist the Coast Guard in rescue missions and help the Border Patrol keep our nation secure. They boost agricultural production and allow us to better protect the environment. Moreover, UAS have virtually no limitations, with the ability carry out such work in hazardous conditions, darkness, extreme heat and a host of other conditions that may pose significant risks to manned aircraft. I. INTRODUCTION Airplane, also called aero plane or plane, any of a class of fixed-wing aircraft that is heavier than air, propelled by a screw propeller or a high-velocity jet, and supported by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings.Aerodynamics and the loads are derived from aerodynamic considerations. Usage and analysis of airfoil shapes for determination of lift and moment coefficients, pressure distributions. Structural design, analysis, and testing of our model is made. Solid modeling of the plane, electronics and radio control. Work delegation and time budgeting are the main aspect in this project. The goal of this undertaking is to gather engineering knowledge and skill, master new techniques and information and apply these to produce a successful design and fabrication of a radio-controlled aircraft.The aircraft should be able to perform such that it is capable of earning points at each level of the event. That is, it should be capable of lifting as much weight as possible while at the same time maintaining a very less weight of itself. Aerobatic performance is of no concern; rather, good lifting qualities at low speed and stable configuration are primary factors to be considered.

Design and performance analysis of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to deliver aid to the remote area

International Conference on Mechanical, Industrial and Material Engineering, 2017

The Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is playing an increasingly significant role in modern military and civil arena. The list of potential uses is now rapidly expanding to encompass a broad range of other activities, including aerial photography, surveying land and crops, communications and broadcast, monitoring forest fires and environmental conditions, and protecting critical infrastructures. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle named 'Mohapotongo' has been designed with the capability of carrying medical aid to remote areas. The Mohapotongo is an advanced, durable, lightweight aircraft designed to carry 700gm of payload covering a range of 20km.Via the autonomous system in Mohapotongo, it can gain information about the environment, work for an extended period without human intervention, move either all or part of itself throughout its operating environment without human assistance and its building structure enable it to carry easily. The Mohapotongo is a canard configured aircraft with the capability of hand-launch or pod launch and is incorporated into the battery powered the electric motor. The overall design process has been done using system engineering process. This paper presents the design methodology, performance analysis, and manufacturing process of the UAV Mohapotongo.
