| Abstract: | The aim of this project is to design, build and test an unmanned aircraft. The design of the air vehicle is characterized by its twin boom, high wing, zero sweep angle layout and 2.9 meter span. Aerodynamic load calculations, stress analysis, performance, stability, and control calculations have been performed. The analysis was carried out by using more than one commercial design software, such as TORNADO SOFTWARE for aerodynamics, ANSYS for stress analysis, and EXCEL spreadsheet for the performance and stability derivatives. The sizing and design was performed by the author. The project has the following stage phases: Theoretical design. This includes calculation of the aircraft parameters and computer simulation of the unmanned aircraft in different flight conditions; acquiring materials and tools; manufacturing the main body of the aircraft; assembly of the aircraft; testing the autopilot; ground testing; and flight testing. Finally, this report documents the different phases of the project, leading to the flight test that has been carried out to confirm the results generated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
