Projeto e Manufatura de uma Aeronave Elétrica e Modular Não Tripulada

18/12/2019

Due to the extensive panoply of missions performed currently by unmanned aircraft on behalf of the human being, there is the need of implementing one flying system capable of carry out the largest number of differentiated tasks dynamically. With this in mind, this work describes the very first steps on the development of a modular and fully electric unmanned aerial vehicle, adaptable to every specific assignment in a practical and prompt way. This innovation opens a window of opportunities to technological advances and large profits in the aviation market with the development of a single reconfigurable flight platform capable of fulfilling differentiated missions existing presently, usually performed by different aircraft in their geometry and dimensions. It is therefore necessary to design a light weight aircraft model, with the application of simple and recyclable materials, fully electric propulsion and with the capability of performing a conventional, hover and vertical flight. During this work the several phases of an aeronautical design project will be described and accomplished, starting with the conceptual design and the theoretical definition of the several aerodynamic, structural, stability and performance parameters, and also the selection of the required instrumentation; following the phases of preliminary and detailed design with the purpose of performing a computational validation of the previous theoretical parameters and thus ensuring the aeronavegability of the developed configuration; and finishing with the manufacturing and experimental tests of the aircraft model designed for verification of the previous design phases analyses by theoretical and computational methods.
