Design Analysis and Fabrication of Delta Wing Amphibian UAV

Abstract

This project reveals the design, analysis and fabrication of delta wing amphibian, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The UAV is capable of both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and short takeoff and landing (STOL). This UAV can be used for both surveillance and medical emergency. Adding an advantage to this UAV camouflage image setup is used for the better surveillance in air and water. Delta wing is used for the serious aerobatic motions and control ability. Design and analysis result shows that delta wing is suitable for this quadcopter and gives the high lift coefficient and decrease in drag. The design is done by using CATIA V5 software and the flow and structure analysis is done with help of ANSYS software. The lightweight materials like aluminum, corrugated sheet and thermocol and card board sheet is used which reduces the weight and helps the quadcopter to float in water. Quadcopter is being used to have better fuel efficient and reduce in control channel. From the calculation and testing the range is obtained to be 7miles. The maximum speed is 30m/s and the endurance is to be 1hr 30 mints.
