• Abstract:

  Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Have Gained Significant Importance In Both Military And Civilian Applications Worldwide In Recent Years. However, Their Design Involves Complex Optimization Of Multiple Parameters And Engineering Decisions. This Paper Presents A Comprehensive Approach To The Design, Manufacturing, And Performance Evaluation Of An Electrically Powered Radio-controlled Quadcopter Drone, Aimed At Achieving Stable Take-off, Efficient Cruise Flight, Safe Landing, And Maximum Payload Carrying Capacity. The Development Process Includes Several Stages: Conceptual Design, Structural Analysis, Performance Analysis, Material Selection, Fabrication, And Experimental Testing. The Quadcopter Was Designed With An Empty Weight Of 15.43 Lbs And A Maximum Take-off Weight Of 33.07 Lbs. The System Achieved A Maximum (flight) Height Of 220m, An Operational Range Of 2-4km, And A Lift/payload Capacity Of 40 Lbs. Additionally, The Drone Demonstrated A Cruising Speed Of 46 Ft/s And A Maximum Speed Of 78 Ft/s, With A Controlled Take-off Distance Equivalent To Standard Multirotor Vertical Lift Characteristics. Experimental Results Indicate That The Proposed Design Provides Stable Flight Performance, Efficient Payload Handling, And Reliable Operation Under Varying Conditions. This Study Contributes To The Development Of Cost-effective And High-performance UAV Systems Suitable For Real-world Applications Such As Surveillance, Agriculture, And Delivery.
