Quadcopters, or quadrotors, are multirotor helicopters that are lifted and propelled by four rotors. Unlike most helicopters, quadcopters use two sets of identical fixed pitched propellers rotating in opposite directions to control lift and torque. These were among the early successful vertical takeoff and landing vehicles. Quadcopters have various applications including surveillance, research, commercial, and recreational uses. Their design typically involves components like a frame, motors, propellers, flight controller, and battery. Proper component sizing and selection is important for stable flight.

The target of the project is to design a vertical takeoff Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The design configuration selected is a four rotor design. Preliminary calculations regarding the material selection was performed. Fabrication was carried out beginning with the frame assembly, followed by the integration of the electronic components. At the same time, the various analyses were performed in order to predict the real time performance of the Quad rotor design. Beginning with structural analysis on Catia, the structural deformation of the frame was studied; the analysis was further refined on the Ansys Workbench. Ansys workbench is an easy to use interactive interface. Following the structural analysis was the Modal Analysis that was performed to evaluate the resonant frequencies or the modes of the vibrations of the frame. Then flow simulation was performed again on the Ansys workbench using the fluent solver and CFX post processing software. This analysis was performed to study the flow behaviour around the quad rotor design. Various plots of the flow parameters were obtained and analyzed. After the assembly of all the individual components was performed, flight testing was performed. The testing was performed for a number of times, various adjustments were implemented, recalibrated several electronic components. The software was reconfigured several times to obtain the desired response from the board. The testing has resulted in minor improvements in the design.

Presentation given during ICRA 2013 to accompany the following paper: C. Papachristos, K. Alexis, A. Tzes “Model Predictive Hovering-Translation Control of an Unmanned Tri-TiltRotor”, IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, ICRA 2013, Karlsruhe, Germany
Abstract This paper presents the design and implementation of a quadcopter capable of payload delivery. A quadcopter is a unique unmanned aerial vehicle which has the capability of vertical take-off and landing. In this design, the quadcopter was controlled wirelessly from a ground control station using radio frequency. It was modeled mathematically considering its attitude and altitude, and a simulation carried out in MATLAB by designing a proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller was applied to a mathematical model. The PID controller parameters were then applied to the real system. Finally, the output of the simulation and the prototype were compared both in the presence and absence of disturbances. The results showed that the quadcopter was stable and able to compensate for the external disturbances.

4. Aircraft Performance
Miniature Aerial Vehicles with four rotors is called Quad-rotor MAV, popularly used in aspects of life such military, civilian products, processes and remote sensor, etc. In this paper, the authors present the suitable structure of control system for the Quad-rotor MAV. The first, the Six Degrees of Freedom (6 DOF) of the Quad-rotor MAV dynamic model is built. After, the control structure with the single loop is built. But in the single-loop system, only four control signals of Quad-rotor MAV can be controlled, so the Quad-rotor MAV can be reached the height only and keep the stability. However, it is important to note that we have to well-known the orbit of the Quad-rotor MAV flight; the Quad-rotor MAV must fly point-to-point exactly, so the six coordinate variables must be controlled. So, the double loop control structure system is proposed to do that. Finally, the simulation results analysis and the experimental results of the real model are explored to prove the effectiveness of the proposed structure.
We will introduce a development of a mini-quad rotor system for indoor application at Keokuk University. The propulsion system consists of X-UFO blade propellers and brushless direct current (DC) motors assembled on a very stiff ai rframe made of carbon fiber composite material. The attitude control system consists of a stab ility augmentation system as the inner loop control and a modern control approach as the outer lo op. The closed-loop contro l is a PID controller,which is used for the flight test to valid ate our aerodynamic mode ling. To perform an experimental flight test,basic electronics hardware will de velop in a simple configuration. We will use an AVR microcontroller as the embe dded controller,a low-cost 100 Hz AHRS for inertial sensing,infrared (IR) sensors for horizontal ranging,and an ultrasonic sensor for ground ranging. A high performance propeller system is built on an X-UFO quad rotor airframe. The developing flying robot is shown to have an automatic hovering ability with aid of a ground control system that uses mon itoring and a fail-safe system. We will introduce a new quad rotor platform for realizing autonomous navigation in unknown indoor/outdoor environments. Au tonomous waypoint navigation,obs tacle avoidance and flight control is implemented on-board. The system does not require a special environment,artificial markers or an external reference system. We will develop a monolithic,mechanically damped perception unit which is equipped with a stereo camera pair,an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU),two processor and an FPGA board.
Design,Construction And Structure Analysis Of Twinrotor UAVijics
There have been many advancements in the field of aerospace and avionics. Scientists have increasingly
started to focus on VTOL (vertical take - off and landing) aircrafts. We have built a miniature VTOL
twinrotor UAV. UAVs have begun to grab a lot of attention these days due to its numerous applications
such as surveillance and relief. Twinrotor is a kind of a helicopter having two main propellers instead of
one and no tail fin. All three important motion of the aircraft i.e. roll, pitch, yaw are controlled by thrust
vectoring using servo motors and changing the magnitude of thrust using electronics speed controllers. The
paper deals with the design of a basic UAV based on application and the construction keeping in mind the
different concepts that govern its motion.

2. Quad rotor, is a multi rotor helicopter that is
lifted and propelled by four rotors.
Unlike most helicopters, quad copters use two
sets of identical fixed pitched propellers; two
clockwise (CW) and two counter-clockwise (CCW).
These use variation of RPM to control lift and
torque.
These vehicles were among the first successful
heavier-than-air vertical takeoff and
landing(VTOL) vehicles.
It is a type of a small representation of
unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV).
3. A four rotor helicopter designed by Louis Breguet in 1907. This was
the first rotary wing aircraft to lift itself off the ground, although
only in tethered flight at an altitude of a few feet.
on April 14, 1924 it established the first-ever FAI
distance record for helicopters of 360 m (390 yd).
It demonstrated the ability to complete a circular
course and and later, it completed the first 1km
closed-circuit flight by a rotorcraft.
In the last few decades, small scale unmanned
Ariel vehicles (UAVs) have become more commonly
used for many applications.
4. There are many types of multi rotor people make nowadays. Some of
them are Mono copter, Twin copter, Tri copter, Quad copter, Y-6,
Hexa copter, X-8, Octa copter.
Based on design, Quad copters are of two types. One is PLUS
configured and the other is X configuration.
In X configuration two arms will face front side while in +
configuration only one arm will face front side.
BASIC CONFIGURATIONS
6. FRAME, ARM, CENTRE PLATE & LANDING SKID:
frame supports motors and other electronics and prevents
them from vibrations. can make Center plate & arm from any
material like CF, PVC pipes, Aluminium or Wood but make
sure it has enough strength to withstand impact and rough
landings.
FC(Flight Controller):
Hobbyking v1, v2.1, v3.0 boards/KK boards have gyro sensor
only but still they are best beginner boards.
ESC(Electronic Speed Controller), BATTERY:
ESC supplies power from battery to motors. Its ampere rating
should be more than motor’s rating i.e. 18amps.
7. MOTOR SELECTION :
some important specifications are Kv, Maximum current(A),
Shaft diameter, Thrust, Weight, Suggested propeller.
BATTERY SELECTION:
1) Each brushless motor needs 18amps
So, 4x18amps=72amps
2) auxiliary equipment like camera needs
=10amps
*So, 3300mah=3.3ahx30c=99amps. Hence we have selected the
3300mah,11.1v,li-po battery.
PROPELLER SELECTION:
According to the motor specifications we have selected 10x4.5”. Lower
the pitch value, higher will be the stability of flight.
8. frame(500x500mm) & weight 380gms
Motors: 1200kv, 18A, ø28mm of 38gms,750gms thrust each.
Propellers: 10x4.5 inch(diameter x pitch)
Esc: turnigy 25 amps of 22gms each
Battery: 11.1v, 3300mAh, 3s, 30c of 335gms
9. Total Thrust = 2x(AUW)
AUW=All Up Weight (weight of frame + battery + circuit)
KV= RPM/Voltage
At no load:
For 1200kv motor: RPM=1200*11.1volts=13320rpm=222RPS
For 10x4 or 7x4 propellers:
Speed=4*222=888inch/sec=22.55m/sec
10. In order to calculate the impact force acting on the body
when it falls from a certain height, work energy theorem is
used.
Work – Energy Theorem:
0.5*M*(V)2 = F*S
V=sqrt*(2*g*H)
Change in kinetic Energy = 0.5*1.5*(24.49)2consider, (H =
30m) = 465J
Work = F*S = 465J
F= 465J/30m = 15.5N.
Momentum Change:
(M2V2-M1V1)/T =Mg – F
Similarly on calculations F= -22.5N (upwards)
So, the force of Impact is multiplied four fold in static
structural analysis and applied 40N on each leg.
15. According to impact analysis, the
Impact load falls on the entire
quad copter is = 14N .
In structural analysis we took triple
Its value i.e., 40N load on each leg.
Finally F.O.S attained =
(310Mpa/10Mpa)=31.
