Multirotor UAV

Designed and developed a multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) using SolidWorks, focusing on structural integrity, aerodynamic efficiency, and payload capability. The UAV was configured as a quadcopter platform with optimized frame geometry to ensure stability, maneuverability, and efficient power utilization. The design incorporated lightweight materials, brushless motors, electronic speed controllers (ESCs), propellers, battery systems, and a flight controller to achieve reliable flight performance. The UAV model was developed through detailed 3D modeling and assembly design, including component integration and interference checks. Aerodynamic considerations such as rotor placement, airflow interaction, and drag reduction were incorporated to enhance flight efficiency. The design was further evaluated for operational requirements including payload carrying capability, endurance, stability, and mission adaptability. The project provided practical experience in UAV system design, CAD modeling, component selection, assembly management, and preparation for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) studies. The developed platform can be utilized for surveillance, aerial monitoring, mapping, inspection, research, and autonomous flight applications.
