Abstract

This project aims to design a hybrid drone with fixed wing for the stable cruising as well as multi-copters for the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) operations. Drones are utilized for number of applications leading from transportation to the surveillance purposes. Some drones are popular for their stable operation, while other for optimum landing and takeoff. Therefore, numerical analysis was performed on propeller, landing gear as well as on whole structure of the drone. The observed result from CFD analysis show that the velocity distribution had maximum velocity of 40 m/s at the mid span of the drone. In addition, the maximum stress obtained was on the landing gear with approximate value of 185 MPa which is due to the weigh and payload of the drone. The final model was built after the analytical and numerical analysis in order to achieve sustainable and reliable prototype.
