Design, Analysis and Fabrication of Quadcopter

Abstract

Quadcopter also known as quadrotor is the next form of helicopters having more dynamic stability than helicopters. They play a predominant role in different areas like surveillance, military operations, fire sensing and some important areas having many complexities. This paper focuses on the aerodynamic effects of quadcopter. It addresses all the aspects of quadcopter ranging from mechanical design to electronics used. It provides backup to the selection of different components with the help of various formulas from research papers. It also gives clear results with respect to weight of components and their corresponding costs. Along with this, finite element analysis is done on the frame so as to sustain the loads generated in the vehicle and concluded that small deformation occurred on the center plates are safe and within the limit.
