Abstract
This project endeavors to develop a cost-effective and efficient Unmanned Aerial System
(UAS) designed for transporting medical supplies to remote and challenging locations.
The UAS, a fixed-wing aircraft, incorporates a parachute system to ensure the
secure and safe delivery of medical cargo. The design process involves optimizing aerodynamic
characteristics, flight dynamics, payload capacity, and the parachute deployment
mechanism to ensure successful deliveries, especially across difficult terrains.The
major objective of the project is to ensure a quality built of a fixed wing UAV which
can effortlessly deliver the medical goods to the remote location of the Solukhumbu
district in time of crisis and need. The Terrain of Nepal itself being quite complex and
difficulty for mode of transportation to reach the remote location make use of UAV like
Aid-Plane more viable. The prototype underdevelopment later can be used not just for
medical sectors but also facilitate other major sectors and regions of Nepal
