Abstract
The transitional aircraft configuration is designed and developed, with a transitioning propulsion mounts from a hover mode to forward flight mode. Calculating the appropriate values of design parameters and performance characteristics was done initially keeping in mind, the take-off weight, usability and the payload carried by the aircraft. Complete modelling of the wing using Catia V5 and designing it for flow and structural analysis using ANSYS. The NACA 4415 airfoil with optimal dimensions is considered for the wing. The laser cutting technique is used in the fabrication. The fabricated model has been precision machined with the lightest materials to reduce weight and increase the efficiency. The autonomy is achieved with required configuration and coding using the KK2 board with manual PID tuning, thus gave full control at hand. The VTOL mechanism was built from scratch and is wirelessly controlled for flight operations.
