Design and Fabrication of VTOL Drone
The demand of fixed wing VTOL has increased drastically over past few years. To overcome the needs, the fixed wing tilt rotor VTOL drone is one of the advanced technique due to its simple construction. A fixed wing VTOL for small scale applications will go through the process of design and fabrication. The final system will then used for other purposes with slight modifications.
Following are the objectives
The demand for fixed wing vertical Take-Off and Landing drones are increasing drastically over past few years. To overcome the need fixed wing tilt rotor is most advanced drone due to its simple construction. These drones can be used in agricultural sector as well as in cargo delivery sector and also for food delivery.
Moreover it can also be used for some applications in industrial level i.e in construction industry to investigate the site.
For the mathematical modelling, we calculated the weight of the drone including each and every component of the drone. After that we calculated the wing area by keeping the aspect ratio=7.
After that we calculated the lift, hovering force, stall velocity, wing loading and thrust to weight ratio
All these parameters afre being iterated once we have optimal value, then we will move towards fabrication. Once fabrication is completed, experiments will be carried out to verify the performance of prototype
