This document summarizes Sanjay Kumar's research proposal on controlling and fabricating materials for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It outlines the presentation, including an introduction to UAV quadcopters, their literature review and observations, work done, proposed research, potential publications, and future plans. The introduction defines quadcopters as small UAVs with four rotors that can perform various tasks independently through control of rotor speeds and directions. The methodology section notes basic design considerations like thrust, drag, lift and weight, as well as software used.

3. • Quad copter is an aerial vehicle which is
operated to fly independently.
• It is a type of a small representation of
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV).
• There are a wide variety of quadcopter
shapes, sizes, configurations, and
characteristics.
• The quad-copter is one of the most
complex flying machines due to its
versatility to perform many types of
tasks. Classical quad-copters are usually
equipped with a four rotors. Quad-
copters are symmetrical vehicles with
four equally sized rotors at the end of
four equal length rods.
Introduction
UAV Quadcopter
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is an
aircraft without an human pilot
aboard , thus getting name ‘Un-
man-ned’ aerial vehicle.
• It’s flight may be operate with
various degree of autonomy
either controlled by a computer
or by a pilot from a remote base
station.
• Compared to manned aircraft ,
UAV were originally used for
missions too dull, dirty or
dangerous for human. While
they originated mostly in
military operation, their use is
rapidly expanding to
commercial , scientific,
agricultural etc.

4. Quadcopter
• Quad copter is an aerial vehicle which is operated to fly independently.
• It is a type of a small representation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV).
• A Quadcopter, also called a Quadrotor helicopter, is a Multicopter that is lifted and
propelled by four rotors.
• Control of vehicle motion is achieved by altering the rotation rate of one or more
rotor discs, thereby changing its torque load and thrust/lift characteristics.
• Quadcopter has four motor’s whose speed of rotation and the direction of rotation
changes according to the user’s desire to move the device in particular direction
(i.e; Take off Motion, Landing motion, Forward motion, Backward motion, Left-Right
motion)

5. Type of UAV
1. Single rotor
2. Multi rotor
3. Fixed wing
4. Hybrid

Type of UAV Description Advantages Disadvantages
Single-Rotor
• They can vertically take-off and land and
do not need airflow over the blades to
move forward, but the blades themselves
generate the required airflow.
• long endurance flights in
large areas outdoors flight.
• Hover flight
• Heavy Payload
• Long Endurance &
coverage
 mechanical
complexity ,
bulky and costly
Multi-Rotor
 Quadrotor, Hexarotor. Tri-copters or
Octacopters are example of Multi rotor.
 It has been vertically take-off and land
and do not need airflow over the blades
to move forward, but the blades
themselves generate the required
airflow.
• Hover flight
• Maneuverability
• Indoors/outdoors
• Small and cluttered areas
• Simple design
 Short flight time

6. Type of UAV Description Advantages Disadvantages
Fixed-Wing
• Principle- it consist of a rigid wing with specific
air foil that can fly based on the lift generated by
the forward airspeed (produced by a propeller).
• The navigation control is succeeded through
specific control surfaces in the wings known as
(pitch), (roll) and (yaw).
• Their aerodynamics assist in longer flight ranges
as well as high speed motion.
• Long endurance
• Large coverage
• Fast flight speed
• Heavy Payload
 Launch-Landing
specific space
 No hover flight
Hybrid
• Hybrid vehicles have the ability to hover and
vertically take off and land.
• This type is till under development.
• Long endurance
• Large coverage
•Under
development
 Transistion
between
hovering and
forward flight
Methodology
• For designing of a UAV many basic points are
considered before actual work to be start.
• Basic properties which are taken into account
are thrust , drag , lift , weight.
• Softwares such as ADS , Open VSP , CSAIL are
specifically used to UAV designning. These
softwares are used for designning and analysing
them.

7. Working Principle
• Quadcopter is a device with a intense mixture of Electronics, Mechanical
and mainly on the principle of Aviation.
• The Quadcopter has 4 motors whose speed of rotation and the direction
of rotation changes according to the users desire to move the device in a
particular direction ( i.e Takeoff motion, Landing motion, Forward
motion, Backward motion, Left motion, Right Motion. )
Take off Motion
Landing Motion
Working Principle – Motor Rotation

8. Forward Motion
Backward Motion
Working Principle – Motor Rotation
Right Motion
Left Motion
