DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A SMALL CARGO UAV

Abstract

This Capstone Project focuses on taking an engineering approach to designing a small cargo (2 kg payload) all-electric UAV that has the purpose of solving the problem of inaccessibility of medical aid in distant, hard-to-reach areas of Kazakhstan. Having set up exact parameter requirements for an UAV according to the mission, it is possible to define required dimensions and configurations of an UAV. It is decided to use a launcher to enable the UAV to take-off and the landing is to be done by belly landing. Analysis includes calculations, statistical data analysis, computer aided modeling and simulations.
