Abstract


Quadcopter comes under category of unmanned aerial vehicles. Different types of quadcopters are used nowadays mainly for surveillance operations due to their dependability, low-cost and multi-functionality. This project presents novel design for quadcopter and discusses about all its attributes ranging from mechanical and electrical components design commonly employed in it. Finite element analysis has been carried out on its frame to evaluate deformation due to application of various loads. Possibility of a solar-hybrid system, for boosting overall flight time of copter has also been explored.
