Abstract:
Unmanned Armed Vehicles (UAVs) are used in surveillance, offensive, and other tactical operations by the military of several countries of the world including Pakistan. This study focuses on the aerodynamics and design of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Conceptual design, preliminary design, structural analysis, and a computational fluid dynamics simulation of the vehicle are all part of the method. We'll aim to develop a low-cost fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can fly independently utilizing low-cost materials. We'll build it with the following design factors in mind: basic airframe configuration, wing configuration, straight wing configuration, and tail configuration. Once we've finalized our design, we'll run a structural analysis on our model to get crucial stress and displacement data. We will highlight the areas where we are getting higher values of stress and huge deformations. We also perform computational fluid dynamics analysis of the model to obtain lift and drag forces along with pressure distribution curve. Using our results, we will perform required changes in our design to make a final design.
