In this project have designed a Fixed-Wing Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for rapid transportation of the vaccines supplies with a proper cold chain maintenance system. This type of hybrid FW-VTOL UAV can easily perform take-off and landing vertically without any requirement of the runway. One major advantage with this type of aircraft is that we can have a high cruising speed with the help of fixed-wing whereas the cruising speed of a quad-copter isn’t that much. The aircraft is designed for carrying a 10 kg of vaccine payload with a PCM cooling system incorporated in it to maintain the vaccine cold chain. In addition, the drone is designed to perform remotely in the least possible time because of the hybrid FW and VTOL action.
The design, analysis, construction, and flight testing of a UAV are all covered in this study. The aircraft is a fixed-wing, quadrotor hybrid with a wingspan of 1.52m with VTOL capability. During fixed-wing flight, a fifth rotor in a pusher configuration generates propulsion. The aircraft wing is made of expanded polystyrene foam with a carbon fiber spar and wind-body linkages that are 3D-printed.
A firefighting quadcopter was designed and fabricated for different types of fire classifications. The purpose of the project was to build a quadcopter that can extinguish fire effectively and also detect human trapped inside the fire.
A fixed wing radio control aircraft was designed and fabricated as a part of my undergraduate 3rd year project. The airplane was fabricated using depron foam board and with manual flight control systems.
A drone was designed for collecting water samples form river or any other open water sources. The drone was capable of floating onto the water surface and collect water from the source.
