Conceptual design for a multi-rotor UAV based on variable paddle pitch

Abstract

The field of unmanned aerial vehicles has experienced a "golden era" of progress in recent years (UAV). UAVs come in a vast variety, from the commercial to the military sectors. The UAVs available today are tiny, mini multirotor devices. The advantages of the small multi-rotor structure are its small size, straightforward design, high hovering effectiveness, adaptability in changing directions, and quick flight speed. For activities like tracking and aerial photography, it is especially useful. However, the majority of multi-rotor UAVs, according to current UAV offers, are built around cameras and sensors. As a result, they can't complete other kinds of missions due to their large overall size, light weight, and small cargoes. The outbreak has sparked interest in and study into whether contactless distribution and logistics are practical. Unmanned mechanical devices for various rescue and specialized duties are also being researched by organizations. Therefore, a medium to big multi-rotor UAV needs to be researched and developed. The assembly of paddle holders and auto-tilters for medium- to large-sized multi-rotor UAVs is examined in this work. The multi-rotor UAV is intended to mount an auto-tilter. Its component strength checks are analyzed. Additionally, the blade requirements are chosen, along with strength tests of the individual components, and the structural design of the UAV rotor system is provided. The mechanical viability of the UAV is then confirmed using a motion simulation of its mechanical design.
