An experimental research on design and development of tricopter

Abstract

The paper is giving a detail description on the design and simulation of tricopter. As the tricopter runs on the newton third law of motion and thrust forces so the paper discussed the detail procedure to calculating the principle fundamental forces acting on the tricopter. This research paper presents the design steps for a tricopter with the use of motor, propeller, battery, flight controller and power distribution board. The CAD design of tricopter helps to visualise the major flight component of tricopter and its orientation. The major advantage of this tricopter is that it can balance various flight parameters like aileron, rudder and throttle. The application of this tricopter includes fire service, military surveillance, product delivery system and medico application. The objective is to provide the summary of design, calibration, and fabrication of the tricopter.
