An Approach For Rational Design and Structural Analysis of a Hexa-Copter
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present study, an unmanned aerial vehicle is designed and analyzed. As per the requirement of lifting a payload of 1.5kg, hexacopter suits the mission profile. Rational design plays an important role in the design process which starts with the weight estimation and the chosen mission profile. A refined method is adopted based on the calculated parameters to achieve the geometry of the hexacopter. Hexacopter is designed using the design software CATIA V5. In addition to that, static stress analysis is executed using Finite element software package MSC Nastran Patran.
