Project Summary

Drone technology had become common for number of purposes in world. But unfortunately Pakistan is far behind from other countries in this prespective. Drones are not available in Pakistan because we don't have any industries which produce their own drones, so we have to import them from other countries which made them expensive. So we are making our own High Speed Autonomous complex drone with low cost to change the prespective of technology for Pakistan.   

Project Objectives

We are dealing with a real world problem. Now in this era, technology is the only thing on which we should work on. Drones are being made with different designs and more the complex design, more will be its cost. But we are making the most difficult design (Y-Shaped drone) with minimum cost. We have made this more complicated by making a Y shape hexa-drone. It is the first of its kind in Pakistan and in many other countries. Now not only we just made High speed Y shaped drone, we will turn it into a autonomous drone, which needs just location coordinates to travel. It needs no pilot. So all these feature with a very low cost is the thing which makes it more challenging.
This is a real life industrial base problem. Cheaper Drones are not available in Pakistan because we don't have any industries which produce their own drones, so we have to import them from other countries which made them expensive. So we are making our own efficient drone with low cost to change the perspective of technology for Pakistan.

Project Implementation Method

Analysis :
We first analysed the market sale prices for complex drones and the original expected cost of them. So we get a target cost in which we have to complete our drone to make it successful. 
Model Used
We used a Y-Shaped model for our drone and we made it Hexa from Tri by using coaxial motors. 
Fabrication
Material :
Sheet metal of Stainless Steel.
Thickness 0.8mm.
Gauge 20.
Manufacturing Processes:
Laser cutting
We cut our frame by laser cutting.
3D Printing 
We had printed arms of our drone.
Drilling :
We drilled arms and body for perfect screw fittings. And the support for our drone.
Finishing : 
 We used filling, amre papers and paint for finishing our model and to make it look aesthetic.

Benefits of the Project

We had to face realistic engineering challenges which involved obstacle detection, map construction, house scanning or survivor localisation in both indoor and outdoor environment with use of small size unmanned platforms. Many types of typical drones are being used in our daily life. But there are also some points which may, able the drone to be used in our practical life and become lifesaving for us: i.e. if we are able to avoid static and dynamic objects during the drones flight. And while doing so, obstacle avoidance drones are able to maneuver for collision avoidance with static infrastructure. The project focuses on the six-rotor (coaxial) UAV. This innovative design is first of its kind in Pakistan.
Drone technology is now become common for number of purposes in word. But unfortunately Pakistan is far behind from other countries in this perspective. Drones specifically, Cheaper Drones are not available in Pakistan because we don't have any industries which produce their own drones, so we have to import them from other countries which made them expensive. So we made our own High Speed Autonomous complex drone with low cost to change the perspective of technology for Pakistan.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

We are dealing with a real world problem. Now in this era, technology is the only thing on which we should work on. Drones are being made with different designs and more the complex design, more will be its cost. But we are making the most difficult design (Y-Shaped drone) with minimum cost. We have made this more complicated by making a Y shape hexa-drone. It is the first of its kind in Pakistan and in many other countries. Now not only we just made High speed Y shaped drone, we will turn it into a autonomous drone, which needs just location coordinates to travel. It needs no pilot. So all these feature with a very low cost is the thing which makes it more challenging.

The commonly known copters have one motor, while a multi copter is a unique kind of aircraft that is equipped with two or more motors. There are many types of multi copter configurations. They are generally classified and named after how many motors they have, for example a three motored multi copter is called a Tricopter. So we named it as HexaCopter Y6 because it will be using 6 motors. There is also an important reason behind this number. Because more the motors, more will be the power and it will increase the lift capacity, speed and we can carry bigger battery to gain more flight time. Another best use of these motors will be when any of the motor fails, it is possible to land the drone safely. 
 Our basic shape of drone will be Y-shaped and it will look like a Tricopter, but the thing we'll add up here is that we introduce one more fan/rotary unit just below already present rotary units. So it will become a HexaCopter which will look like a Tricopter. 
As it is Y-shaped, so it will have a rotary tail unit engine based on servo motor. It definitely does not add reliability and raises additional problems when designing this, but it is the only design possible to achieve highest speed and fixing it, will prove our abilities. 
Now if we talk about the height at which we'll fly is about 1 to 5 feet for now. Then  after some successful flights and tests, we'll work on it to achieve high levels of height as well. 
Another main point related to design is weight reduction feature. As we all know more the weight of the drone is, less will be its speed. So our another challenge will be reducing the weight of drone to be successful in our goal.
