DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF AUTONOMOUS FIXED-WING UAS FOR MEDICAL SUPPLIES DELIVERY

Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop a cost-effective and efficient Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) that can be utilized to transport medical supplies to remote and hard-to-reach locations. The UAS is a fixed-wing aircraft that is equipped with a parachute system for the safe and secure delivery of medical supplies. The design process includes the optimization of aerodynamic characteristics, flight dynamics, payload capacity, and the parachute deployment mechanism to ensure successful delivery. Additionally, the UAS has been designed to have a high lift capacity, allowing it to cross challenging terrains with ease. The fabrication process of the UAS is underway, and this project will provide an update on the progress and highlight the key challenges faced during the development phase. The focus of the project is on ensuring that the UAS is capable of performing its mission effectively and efficiently.
